XP Mode alternative for Windows 10

VMLite XP Mode Overview

VMLite XP Mode offers similar functions as Microsoft Windows XP Mode, but doesn't require hardware virtualization. It allows you to run Windows XP at the same time from your desktop running on a different host operating system.

Even if your computer has VT-x or AMD-V, you should try out VMLite, because it runs faster, has better graphics and supports 3D/2D acceleration, supports multiple virtual CPUs, supports 64-bit guests, etc.

If you want to migrate your old Windows XP to run as virtual machine on your new Windows 7 PC, you can use our MyOldPCs software.

If you want to boot your old Windows XP directly on your new PC to have a multiple boot system in addition to your Windows 7, you can use our VBoot software, which boots an operating system from a single virtual disk file in VHD format.

First install VMLite Workstation from the following link. - http://vmlite.com/index.php?option=com_rokdownloads&view=file&Itemid=149
When the time comes to setup XP Mode in VMLite, simply point to where you have Windows 7 XP Mode executable stored.
The XP Mode executable can be downloaded from the following link. - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8002
VMLite will extract XP Mode from the executable and make the necessary configurations to run XP Mode.

VMLite XP Pro doesn't seem to work on Windows 10.

I'm going to say no. But then at the time I didn't and still don't know if it was just my machine. I was hoping for a positive outcome from someone, when I posted the thread.
