| Would it be possible to create a Windows CE 2.11 CEPC that can boot on an x86 hypervisor? I've tried looking but haven't been able to find any info. |

| If you acquire Platform Builder 2.11 from somewhere, yes, but sorting drivers out will be easier said than done for all but 640x480 and generic experiences. |

| I do have the Platform Builder, which I got from BetaArchive. The thing is I don't really know how to use it. I have used other platform builders, but just for Windows CE 7 and 2013, not for older versions. |

| Well I decided to instead use Platform Builder 2.12, which does have the option for New Platform. I managed to build an OS image, however now I want to know how to copy the NK.bin to a VHD and make it bootable.

| Certainly looks that way. The generic driver may not be fully VESA compliant against the virtual adapter. |

| Hmm I see. How can I change the driver? I tried adding all of the ones included in the PB, but none seem to work. |

| I’m pretty sure that all included drivers are for 640x240 resolution, which was a standard at the time. As far as I can tell, this doesn’t seem to be a valid VESA resolution, and therefore could be causing issues with the default video adapter of the VM. |

| Well I changed the resolution to 640x240 and the color depth to 16, and now this happens:

| You have to find the driver and then compile it into the image via includes in platform builder. |

| How can I do that? Sorry I'm not very good when it comes to compiling. |

| Find a driver first, worry about the rest later. |

| I decided to use the HPC2000 VHD file and replace the bin image. It does work, but it's a bit awkward to use.
