    No, XP mode is only available with Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate. If you order one of those versions, you can install it but you need to activate the VT

    You need to go into bios and see if virtualization is enabled or can be enabled.

    They most likely do not come with VT enabled but there is a BIOS update dated in October for both models that will allow VT to be unlocked. Then you would just have to turn it on in the BIOS.
