record/replay debugging i7-3610qm - debugging

I am running VMWare 7 + Visual Studio 2010 on Windows 7 ultimate x64 as a host and Windows XP SP3 32bit as a guest on i7-3610qm. But when attempt to run record/replay function VMWare says that I have unsupported processor, but in the VMWare manual there is said that record/replay should be working on Intel pentium 4 and newer.
I was thinking of changing some settings in BIOS but which ones? Any ideas? Or alternative VM software with function record/replay?

Hyper-v and Visual Studio community

I have Windows 10 Pro x64 installed on my machine with Visual Studio community as well, however I need Windows Phone emulators for Xamarin testing. Visual Studio keeps telling me:
This computer does not support Windows Phone emulator, which requires the 64-bit edition of Windows 8.1 Pro and a computer that supports Hyper-V.
Spec of my PC:
AMD Phenom II X4 810 Processor (Supports SLAT)
8GB of RAM
Gigabyte M720-US3 Motherboard
Award modular BIOS v6.00PG
So I tried to enable Hyper-v for my computer by enabling virtualization in BIOS. Then I went to the Control panel and tried to enable Hyper-v there, but it seems like I can't. The tooltip says I cannot install hyper-v and that the firmware disables support for virtualization.
Hyper-v grayed out
I also let a little AMD utility check for support for hyper-v and this is the result:
I should enable AMD-v however I didn't find any option like that in my BIOS. Only thing called simply "virtualization" I enabled
I don't know what else I could do for it. Any idea? Thank you very much!

Run Windows Phone Emulator on 32-bit version of Windows

I have the 32-bit version of Windows 10. I have installed Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate, but I am unable to find the emulator for Windows Phone.
How can I test my application?
The Windows Phone SDK uses Hyper-V, which requires a 64-bit platform for the host.
See below for an excerpt. Note the requirements listed under Operating System.
System requirements for the emulator for Windows Phone 8
Your computer must meet the following requirements:
BIOS
In the BIOS, the following features must be supported:
Hardware-assisted virtualization.
Second Level Address Translation (SLAT).
Hardware-based Data Execution Prevention (DEP).
RAM
4 GB or more.
Operating system
Windows 8
64-bit
Pro edition or higher

Unable to start Windows Phone Emulator

I was facing this problem before and wrote on msdn and was urged to uninstall all the components and I did that.
Again installed Visual Studio Community 2013 and I am facing this problem.
Windows Phone Emulator requires Hyper-V. Your computer is missing the following pre-requisites requied to run Hyper-V:
Windows 8 Professional (64-bit)
I am using hp Envy m6 with AMD processor and 6GB RAM (Factory installed Windows 8.1 Professinal). I believe my PC meets the requirements specified by Microsoft. And I have enabled virtualization in the BIOS settings.
PS. Thank you stackoverflow for not allowing me post a snapshot of the problem!

XP mode development in Win 7

I am a developer and have a XP laptop that I use to dev a SQL 2005 database and MSAccess 2003 frontend database as well as VS2003 website.
I want to upgrade to Win 7 using XP mode to install the software above. This is because I still want to install Office 2007 on Win7 etc.
Do you think XP mode on Win7 will be reliable enough for this? Also do all xp mode apps have to run in the xp mode window? Is it possible to access xp mode SQL db from Windows 7 mode?
Visual Studio .NET 2003 is not compatible with Windows 7 and would have to be run in XP Mode. Visual Studio 2005 will require Service Pack 1 to work properly as well. SQL Server 2005 will install without a problem at all.
The XP mode offered in Windows 7 is basically an integrated Windows Virtual PC. The XP mode can be reliable (if you think we can call XP reliable) but the performance of a virtual machine will always be lower comparing to a natively installed windows xp.
You can make the SQL db in the XP mode accessible from Windows 7, since XP Mode is essentially a virtual machine, you need to configure the database in the Virtual Machine to allow external connections to it as a database server.
