For many years now I’ve been happily chucking around Windows XP virtual hard disks and loading them with Virtual PC. Sadly I’m going to have to turn to something modern as the virtual processor is no longer up to scratch, as I found when trying to install Windows 8.1 evaluation.
In the past this would have been a Blue Screen but they’re handled differently in Windows 8, usually with a frowning emoticon.
0x0000005D means UNSUPPORTED_PROCESSOR and the solution would be to enable No-Execute Memory Protection in the BIOS.
Virtual PC is ancient so the AMI BIOS has no such setting on any of the menus.
Off now to find a virtualisation product I like.
