Get Paragon Drive Copy 14 Professional for 30% off – Now Till April 11 th 2014 Only!
FREIBURG, Germany, April 3, 2014 – Paragon Software Group (PSG), a leader in data backup, disaster recovery, and data migration solutions, announces that Paragon Drive Copy 14 Professional – the Windows 8.1-compatible tool for drive migration of any complexity – is available to all Windows XP users as an alternative to keep Windows XP system in a virtual environment and to assist in delivering a smooth transition to new operating systems. On April 8 th 2014, Microsoft terminates technical support and automatic security updates for its 13-year-old Windows XP operating system. The common problems Windows XP users will start facing are compatibility issues with other software and hardware, and greater security risks. Windows XP systems will be vulnerable to any new malware that is not blocked by the installed security software. Therefore, virtualizing XP becomes a safer way to keep the old system protected than a normal, physical installation.
Microsoft recommends Windows XP users who want to continue employing the old system after April 8th, to use it as a virtual operating system. Unlike Microsoft’s native virtualization solution in Windows 7 and 8, Paragon Drive Copy 14 Professional offers more flexibility by supporting all major virtualization formats, including VMware Workstation, MS Virtual PC and Oracle VirtualBox. If the user needs to quickly extract only several files out of the old Windows XP system, Paragon Drive Copy 14 Professional allows you to connect the XP virtual disk to the current version of Windows’ disk map and transfer necessary files without launching the XP virtual machine.
Moving the system to a virtual environment is a tedious task and users might experience many difficulties, including the denial of virtual machine network access. In addition, when the new operating system is installed, users might discover that certain applications will not run correctly on it. Paragon Drive Copy 14 will automatically transfer the operating system, programs, files and personal settings without losing any data. Virtualization gets around many limitations, and Paragon Drive Copy 14 Professional is the easiest ways of cloning the old XP system for use in a virtual machine. P2V (physical-to-virtual) Adjust functionality makes migration flexible and applicable for any complex virtualization task. Windows XP users can switch to the new OS but still keep Windows XP in the virtual environment and continue using the legacy Windows XP operating system whenever they want, securely.
Key Features in Paragon Drive Copy 14 Professional:
- Fast and easy virtualization of Windows operating systems including all data, applications and settings (P2V)
- Migration to new hard disk drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs), new hardware (i.e. UEFI), and virtual machines
