This page mainly focuses on Virtual PC 2007.
 
Virtual PC 2007 is mostly intended for using 9x and XP-based operating systems, the absolute latest OS it can run without modifications is VistaWindows 7 (very sluggishly), althoughthough it can run pure DOS, OS/2 Warp/NetWare or almost any x86 based OS. It is '''incapable''' of running x64 based OSes unlike most modern hypervisors though.
 
The only latest officially supported host operating system for Virtual PC 2004/2007 is Windows 7, but you can get it to run on newer versions with a hack, but you should only use 32-bit versions of them for best compatibility. You cannot run Virtual PC on 64-bit Windows 8 and higher.
