However, I have also heard that Win 7 Pro can simulate Win XP in some way that allows the older software to run. I haven't looked into this yet myself so cannot say it is correct for sure, but I certainly will be looking into it before I change operating system.
To do this, you would need to run Windows XP Mode in a virtual machine. This would require a free download from Microsoft. To learn more about how to do this, and to get the download, go to: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/
