Xen users - Aug 2013 - Running Windows7 On a CPU With No Virtualization Support

Hi,

    Is it possible to run Windows 7(32/64 bits) as domU in Xen on a CPU
    not supporting VT-x/AMD-V such as some Intel Atom models? The mode
    is not important here: PV, HVM ... anything. 

    I tested VMwar, Virtualbox and they can do that.

    Can Xen do this?

    Regards

I''m afraid not. The Windows kernel has not been ported to the Xen PV
interface and Xen''s HVM support relies on hardware support for
virtualisation.
