Problem
Does Windows 7's XP mode require hardware virtualization? This old post indicates hardware virtualization is required, some articles say it no longer is. Do I need a CPU with hardware virtualization? Does the CPU need to be 64 bit to run Windows 7 XP mode?

Low Risk
You do not need hardware virtualization. Originally XP Mode required it, but now with Windows 7 service pack 1 it is not required. If you are not running SP1 (shame on you) then you can download a XP Mode update (step 4 on the XP Mode download page)…
