About this tag
The vt technology tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about Intel VT (Virtualization Technology) and its role in running Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode on Windows 7. Posts highlight that not all processors support VT, even if they are otherwise powerful enough for Windows 7 or 64-bit operating systems. Users share experiences with specific CPUs like the Core 2 Duo E4600, which lacks VT, and advise checking processor specifications on Intel or AMD websites before purchasing Windows 7 with the expectation of using XP Mode.
