问题

超级用户读者Jsalonen陷入困境，他写道：

I’m doing web development on a Windows 8 system. I’m running the latest IE, but I need to test the app with older versi*** of IE as well (especially IE7 and IE8).

Is it possible to run these legacy versi*** of IE on Windows 8?

对于像他这样的遗留设置，最好的解决方案是什么？

答案

几个超级用户贡献者都提出了一些帮助Jsalonen的好主意。HackToHell写道：

You use virtual machines to do this, it is the easiest way. You use Hyper V and the VHD images provided by microsoft (or use a third party tool like virtual box).

First off, setup Hyper V as per the instructi*** given by Kronos here.

You can then download the respective vhd images from Microsoft and create a virtual machine for each version of IE.

Running the vhd

Open the Hyper V manager and create a new virtual machine.

Enter the name, memory details etc, but then for the hard disk image, select use existing hard disk.

Click finish and you will have your VM that has the legacy versi*** of IE.

HowToGeek has a large tutorial of getting the individual VM’s running here.

贡献者Megaperlz建议使用一个独立的工具：

If you need a stand-alone testing tool you can try BrowseEmAll. It runs IE 7, 8, 9 and 10 alongside.
