I have Windows 7 running on my machine, and other hand I have virtual hard disk file(.vhdx), which is creates using Windows 8. So as I know found,
Hyper-V isn't available on Windows 7 client SKUs, like Enterprise. It's only available on Windows Server 2008 x64 (some SKUs), Windows Server 2008 R2 (most SKUs), Windows 8 Professional x64, Windows 8 Enterprise x64, and Windows Server 2012 (again, most SKUs).
You've just installed the management tools which allow you to manage a remote instance of Hyper-V.
Is this correct ? If yes then is there any way i can open this .Vhdx in any other Softwares on Windows7 . Or how can I use it ?
I found below blog on "How to Restore VHD File backup" but looking for alternative way?

Thank you
Royally late ... but I had the same problem and ended up implementing it in my software.
To answer your question
is there any way i can open this .Vhdx in any other Softwares on Windows7
You can use IsoBuster to open the *.vhdx files and extract files from the image file to your Windows 7 PC. ( download: www.isobuster.com/ )
I hope this helps ?

I need to install WSL or windows Terminal to use it as a visual studio code terminal but I only find tutorials for windows 10 or windows server (2016, 2019)...
I don't know if I can install them or not on windows server 2008 r2.
Could you help me please?
Unfortunately WSL is not available for Windows Server 2008r2. The best you can achieve is to either to install Linux in a virtual machine leveraging HyperV on 2008r2, or perhaps using VMware Workstation or Virtualbox. Alternatively, for something more light weight you might get away with installing something like
Cygwin instead.
Unfortunately not. You can use Cygwin instead. It's old and out of date, but then so is Windows 2008, isn't it?
I had an application written in VB on my laptop which was running Windows XP until I formatted it yesterday. A friend copied it over several years ago but it's not possible to contact him anymore. This project consists of .vbg, .vbp, .vbw, etc. files and a few .mdb files which store the databases. I also had a shortcut on my desktop which was referencing a .vbg file which used to open up a window and I was then supposed to press a "Play" button to launch the application.
I've copied the required folders over to my new laptop which now has Windows 7 Professional (32 bit) but I have no idea how to run this application and what is required. I also tried creating a VM using Windows XP just to check if the problem is with Windows 7 (or above) but still I am probably missing other required software (a debugger perhaps? visual studio or something?).
My questions are:
Is it possible to run this project on Windows 7 and what software is required to accomplish that?
What am I missing on the Windows XP VM? Do I have to install Visual Basic or some other debugging software?
Appreciate your help,
Kyriacos.
First of all, you need to have visual basics to run the .vbg or .vbp files. There is no other application that supports those formats. And Second, you can run the project on windows 7 as it is compatible all the way to windows 10.
How enable Hype-v in windows 8.1 single language for emulator windows phone app ( in Windows Phone "Sdk" 8.0)
hyper v is not available in windows 8.1 single language need to upgrade to windows 8.1 pro or use oracle vm
If you are developing Windows Phone app then surely you need Hyper-V to deploy the app over the Win Phone 8 image. But in case you are having Win 8.1 SL, you would be actually in trouble. The alternative is any other virtual tool. Here I suggest Oracle VirtualBox. After installing virtual box you have to create a machine with an OS image. For windows phone 8 or any other version goto "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.0\Emulation\Images". You can also go to v8.1. What I mean to say is to locate the directory for Flash.vhd. Copy the whole directory("\Images") to some other location. Start your VM and create a new machine with OS Windows 8 or 8.1 (depending upon the image version). In the next screen allocate RAM >= 1 GB. Then finally locate the Windows Phone image (Flash.vhd) after clicking "Use an existing virtual hard drive file". Click "Create" and all done!!
Another way of doing this without having any Virtual Machine is by Microsoft XDE. For this you have to start the CMD with admin rights and change the directory (CD) to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft XDE\8.0
(Remember the last directory into this path could be 8.1 as well). Then run the following command
XDE.exe -vhd “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.0\Emulation\Images\Flash.vhd”
Now I would suggest one more thing. Before doing all this first check where is all the stuff installed in your PC. And sorry, I have not taken care of so much formatting of this post. Enjoy :)
By building my android aplication on phonegap for windows 8 i got a .xap file. Now am not having windows 8 pc or windows 8 phone. I want to test my xap file, so what can i do now? Is that possible to run the xap file on windows 7 if so how ? I tried by installing windows software development kit but i couldnt find any emulator. Is there any other way to run the application on windows 7 desktop ?
No, there's no emulator for Windows 8 on Windows 7.
Your best bet would be virtual machine. Two most popular options are VirtualBox and VMware. You can run virtual PC and install Windows 8 on it (you'd need a Windows 8 installation though).
Microsoft released new virtual images with different Operating Systems and Browsers on modern.ie. On the right side of the page you'll find different virtualization options as well as download links to different images. You can download and use these images without having to worry about buying any license, getting the system installed, etc. (they're time limited, but you can just reset your virtual machine at will).
I have got the Windows Azure Platform account.
Fot he development with Windows Azure, can I use computer with Windows XP Professional.
If not what environment should i set to start working with Windows Azure, and migrating existing web projects to Windows Azure.
Regards.
Pravin.
Since azure uses Windows Server 2008 SP2/R2 as it's core OS, you will need at least Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 to come close to mimicking the environment in Azure. If you are in a situation where you cannot upgrade your OS then you should look at utilizing a VM for development/testing purposes.
To answer your question, yes you can hack together a solution, is it pretty, no. Would I do it, no way. I also find that I like Windows 7 a lot better than XP or Vista, but I am also work for the man so I am jaded.
