I am aware of the upgrade options for SharePoint 2010


The above talks more of a Production Deployment.

And i have seen so many Windows 7 VHD boot for SharePoint 2010.

Would like to hear options for the MS VPC with Windows 2008 Server+MOSS2007 towards upgrading to SharePoint 2010.

The above is for personal lab and exercises.

Please share your views (URLs, Forum Discussion) pros, cons.

MS VPC doesn't support 64 bit client, so it's not an option for running SharePoint 2010

The main options available are:

  1. On your physical machine
  2. VHD boot
  3. Hyper-V
  4. VMWare

1 and 2 only support one server installations
3 doesn't work well on laptops
So my preferred choice is 4

But it very much depends on your machine and needs
