I have worked as a Software and Web Developer at a Top 50 UK law firm, as well as at a software house in the Airport Services industry.
I love technology, especially when it can make life easier for people, or help businesses run at their full potential.

May 13, 2012 at 4:43 AMOne of my dev machines runs Windows 7 Professional and I am able to boot from VHD into Windows 8 Consumer Preview no problem.
I followed the advice of Scott Hanselman in his excellent blog post and didn't hit a single issue. This definitely works on my machine, Windows 7 Professional 64-bit:

The previous video was talking about booting into Windows 8 on a machine that already runs Windows 7, which will work (Win 7 Pro for me, Win8 CP on a VHD).
But I don't believe you can boot Windows 7 from a VHD if you only have pro as stated in this video.

If I encrypt my files using BitLocker, and then create a system image using the tools built into Windows 7, will I be able to restore from that system image and still have access to all of the files that were there at the time the system image was created?
