    Hi, I current have XP as my main OS. It's been fine for all these years.

    I've put off upgrading until now but I need to use a program that requires windows 7 or above. If I'm going to do the required "fresh install" I will wait to do that when Windows 10 is available. Sooooo:

    Since I do have a copy of Windows 7, I was thinking of installing that on my external drive and run that along with XP so that I can at least transfer the files back and forth that I need.

    NOTE: I can't free up enough space available on my main drive for both XP and 7 to reside.

    I've read about how to duel-boot the two OS's but haven't found out how to run them at the same time. This is what I need.

    I have Virtual Box and am familiar with it.

    Can someone suggest how I can do this.

    Thanks.
