Using Windows XP Mode, you can run programs that were designed for Windows XP on computers running Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate editions. Windows XP Mode isn’t supported on Windows 8.

How does Windows XP Mode work?
Windows XP Mode works in two ways -- both as a virtual operating system and as a way to open programs within Windows 7. It runs in a separate window on the Windows 7 desktop, much like a program, except it’s a fully-functional, fully-licensed version of Windows XP. In Windows XP Mode, you can access your physical computer’s CD/DVD drive, install programs, save files, and perform other tasks as if you were using a computer running Windows XP.
When you install a program in Windows XP Mode, the program appears in both the Windows XP Mode list of programs and in the Windows 7 list of programs, so you can open the program directly from Windows 7.

Virtual switches/ Hyper-V VLAN you can create 3 different types of virtual switches depending the needs of your virtual machines and one single machine can use multiple virtual NICs that is member of different Virtual Switches.
External This virtual switch binds to the physical network adapter and create a new adapter you can 1. see in Control PanelNetwork and InternetNetwork Connections so if a virtual machine needs contact outside the host machine this one is a must. Internal This virtual switch can be used to connect all virtual machines and the host machine but can- 2. not go outside that.
Private This virtual switch can only be used by the virtual host 3.
