Sergiaws Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 I managed to do the same thing but with XP x86 as a host and Windows 10 x64 as a guest in vmware 10!
Tripredacus Posted June 24, 2021 Posted June 24, 2021 Now do it with a host that doesn't support virtualisation.
MrMADRYAN Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 @Tripredacus, as far as I know, they will be still able to install 32-Bit versions of Windows 10.
Sergiaws Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 As I told, I managed to run Windows 10 x64 on Windows XP x86. The thing is that you should use a lts version of Windows 10. And unless you have PAE enabled and 8gb ram, you should use a ramdisk if you have more than 4gb, and if you use the ramdisk you may not give to the virtual machine more than 2gb of ram. Another option would be to setup a Windows Server 2016/2019 without graphics, only the command line. That should boot even with 512mb of ram and do bassic tasks. I also managed to have only command line experience with the normal Windows 10, here is a tutorial. https://superuser.com/questions/291687/is-it-possible-to-run-windows-without-gui/291705 but for doing that, you must have a 64 bit capable processor.
Vistafand Posted July 17, 2021 Posted July 17, 2021 this means you can technically run anything 10 does in vista
Sergiaws Posted July 20, 2021 Posted July 20, 2021 I successfully installed Windows 11 inside Windows Vista with VMware! 1
KetaMnight Posted September 2, 2021 Posted September 2, 2021 Now install Windows 11 as the host being Windows Vista! 1

Sergiaws Posted October 11, 2021 Posted October 11, 2021 That-s not true. You can install Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10 x64 on a 32 bit OS, if you have enough ram, a 64 bit processor and PAE enabled or if you have the pagefile.sys on a Ramdisk. I know that because I did it.
