Can you help me with my software licensing question?
I want to use TechNet to download Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 to two virtual machines. I am not familiar with TechNet so I am hoping you can guide me in the right direction. :) In the system requirements, it says you need a Windows 7 OS or other supported versions but I could not find any reference on the other supported versions at this link. I only have a base Windows XP so I am hoping that will cut it. When I use the TechNet on the Windows XP, how do I change the OS? At this point, will the Windows XP OS be gone? What happens after the 12 month subscription? Does everything revert back to before? Thanks!!
