The majority of laptops DO NOT support hardware virtualization. It is normally disabled by the manufacture and the option is removed from the BIOS or UEFI. It is recommended you use a desktop. This doesn't stop you from using xp mode, just any specific hardware required features are denied.

Links to download and instructions are towards the bottom.
Be aware you need windows 7 professional or higher to run, windows 7 home edition has a built in "you can't use this feature" and will refuse to run xp mode.

If you get an error running the EZFA_Client.exe saying it can't find the XceedZip.dll, it means you are running the program from a zip folder. You can fix your problem by using a zip manager like 7zip and extracting the contents to a folder before you proceed.
