How Can I Get Microsoft Sam On Windows 7?

Question

I love Microsoft Sam, and I want him on my Windows 7 computer. However, he's gone. Is there any way I can download an add-on to text-to-speech so I can use his voice?

No separate programs, please. Just add-ons for the current. And don't say "use Ann", because I very much prefer Sam.

Please follow these steps to enable hardware visualization:

- Restart the Computer and enter BIOS setup.

- Search visualization settings in BIOS and enable the setting.

- Save BIOS settings.

- Power off the computer, wait for a few seconds and start the computer.



You can check your computer manufacturer's manual for details on BIOS settings.

As per Microsoft Support:



"Microsoft Anna voice selection is the default voice selection in Windows 7. There is no way to download Microsoft Sam on Windows 7. However one can use Windows XP Mode as Microsoft Sam is the default voice selection in Windows XP. Windows XP Mode comes as a separate download and works only with Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise"



Instructions on how to do get XP Mode is located in the post by Syed of Microsoft Support at the webpage below:
