Is it possible to have multiple versions of Internet Explorer on the same computer?
Solution:
Microsoft now provides free virtual machine images with a number of different versions of Internet Explorer preinstalled. You can grab a copy of the images on the modern.ie website, which currently includes the following combinations:
- IE6 on Windows XP
- IE7 on Windows Vista
- IE8 on Windows XP
- IE8 on Windows 7
- IE9 on Windows 7
- IE10 on Windows 7
- IE10 on Windows 8
- IE11 on Windows 8.1
- IE11 on Windows 7
- IE11 on Windows 10
The images are designed for the following virtualization platforms:
- Microsoft Hyper-V
- Microsoft VirtualPC
- Oracle VirtualBox
- Parallels
- VMware
The images expire after a fixed amount of time, so snapshots are recommended to simplify the process of “resetting” them after they expire.
