Our accountants use some older software the just does not work in Windows 7 and the only way we can get it to open is using XP mode. The software takes a long time to install and today I was giving a user a new PC and retiring his old one. I was able to
copy the .vhd files along with the others in that folder to the same location on the new computer and fire it up without any issues. The accounting software was there and it worked without any problems. My question is for new users, can I copy those same files
to a new computer that has XP mode installed and run it safely? I am not sure what happens with SID's but the XP mode workstations are NOT joind to the domain so maybe it doesn't matter.
