Hosting XP 32bit as an Azure Virtual Machine


We want to replicate a clients environment on Azure for test/debugging reasons. The only issue is it's a 32 bit XP.

Does anyone know if I can host this on Azure?

Solution

  • Only Windows Server instances can be used in Azure (Technically they are a special Azure Guest OS, but really they're versions of Windows Server). If you need XP then I'd suggest using a local VM in something like VirtualBox or VMware Workstation
