Can anyone tell me positively that this works with XP? In earlier discussions, neither Gary nor Trevor seemed concerned when I mentioned my machine was XP, so I think I maybe worrying unnecessarily. However, it would be nice to have it confirmed before I land in the poop.

Hi Paul,
There is the
host OS and the
guest OS.
You can run XP as a guest.
However, in more recent editions of VMWare Workstation (e.g. 12.X)
the oldest
host OS supported is Windows 7 and you need to have
a 64-bit CPU.
If you already have the newer, faster machine and it and the older XP machine are networked,
you can run VMware on the newer machine and clone the XP machine onto it.
Older versions of VMware, such as 10.x, could run on XP as the host.
