It is possible to install windows XP in Windows 8 Pro

It is possible to install Windows XP in Windows 8 Pro to work together. If so, how?

You would have a better chance, installation of Windows 7. Many modern systems that are preinstalled with Windows 8 do not support Windows XP. Its too old. There is probably no support driver is (you can always try your luck and see your computer manufacturer web site).

If you upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 8, your system would be of course compatible Windows XP. In this case, you will need to redo the installation by installing Windows XP first, then Windows 8 after.

    Hello!

    Is this possible? I know it is slow due to the speed of USB2, but it is only for rapid tests and do not want to mess with my internal hardware (HARD drive has an old Windows XP Pro. Installation of SP3 with lock hard ups with videos - need to understand if it is my software or hardware) in my current computer. In addition, it doesn't help that I have a disability (cannot yet use a screwdriver).

  • Is it possible to install Windows 7 on Satellite Pro 6100

    Is it possible to install windows 7 on a Toshiba Satellite pro 6100 computer? I am currently using windows XP.

    Thank you.

    Hey Buddy,

    Do you really think on installing Windows 7 over several years old Satellite Pro 6100?

    In my opinion, it won't work because it is too old and not fast enough. Newer operating system that is supported by Toshiba is Windows XP and this should be the best choice for good old classic.

    So just to be satisfied with Windows XP, it's a good choice for older computers! :)

  • Satellite L650-14F - it is possible to install Windows XP

    Hello and sorry for my language.

    It is possible to install Windows XP on this laptop?
    I have the Satellite L650-14F and I want to install XP 64. but the problem is, with the drivers. are they compatible?

    Help, please
    Thank you

    Yes, you can install Win xp on this laptop, but you will need to use the drivers for Win XP 64-bit.

    European driver Toshiba page provides accurate drivers for 32it version, so you have to collect drivers 64-bit with your own hands...

    But to be honest; I do not recommend using Win XP 64 bit... either you choose 32 bit or Win 7 64 bit.

    Win XP 64 bit was not so popular as the 32-bit version and most of the applications and the software is compatible with the 32-bit version.

    My computer is several years old and came with Windows XP. Is it possible to install Windows 7? What happens to all my files, etc, if I did?

    Thank you.

    You will need to run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. It will inform you whether or not you can run Windows 7.

    In regards to your personal files, they must be saved on a device external or other removable media. This is because you can not 'upgrade' itself from Xp to Windows 7. It requires a clean install which means that all data on the hard disk is deleted during the installation of 7...

    Installation of Windows Xp from a usb key involves a lot more than simply copy the files from one windows on a USB disk. It is much more difficult than don't imagine most (but not impossible).

    Hello

    I couldn't take it any longer using Windows 8.   I installed 7 Pro 64 on this machine, only to find HP doesn't provide drivers for 7 for this particular model.

    The useful link below got my work to adapt (LAN) network.

    Since there is no driver installed wireless, need a labeled device network controller in Device Manager under the other devices category.  The network controller device will be somewhat ! brand next to him.

  • Cannot install Windows XP Pro on the Satellite A100-411

    Hello

    IA´ve you have a question. I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-411 with Windows Vista Home Premium. Because of the performance that would have me much better with Windows XP, I tried to install Windows Xp on a second partition, but on the same hard drive.

    The problem is that it did not work, I put the Windows XP cd in my DVD player, did a restart and started from the cd.
    The first window Windows Xp installation opened and checked my system, but when he did and
    wantet to start the main installation, I got a blue screen, where stood her system was closed due to an error and that I should change my video card, or should I turn caching and shadowing in my Bios.

    But my video card really works and is ok and I can't find the caching and shadowing in bios, so I can't install windows xp.

    So my question is is it possible to install Windows XP on the A100-411 when Vista is installed on the other Partition.

    I did something wrong or isn´t is it possible to install Windows Xp after Windows Vista on an A100-411
    Sorry for my bad English and greetings from the Germany

    Hello

    Of course, it should be possible to install Windows XP on the second partition.
    First you must create the partition. Vista provide a clean option for partitions of creation because the 3rd party applications such as Partitions magic doesn't work under Vista. In disk management you can reduce the size of a partition of first and could create a second partition on the HARD disk free space.

    All your Windows XP CD contain service packs? I myself remember more old CD s WinXP don't were not delivered with SP2! In such cases, it s a good idea to create a clean XP Boot CD using 3rd application called nLite. Its freeware and you could find on the net!

  • After installing windows XP Pro my computer does not start correctly

    After you have installed Windows XP Pro on my HP Pavilion (updated to XP home), my computer will not end the restart process.  I have repeatedly in a loop once the blue screen with the HP logo.  When this has happened before after installing a pack of updates for XP Home, we just started in safe mode and then had it will restart at an earlier time, thus eliminating the updates.  However, now when I try to start in safe mode, I get an error message that says: "Windows Setup cannot start in safe mode" and I leave safe mode.  We hoped that by installing Windows XP Pro, this problem should go away.  Can anyone help?  I have read several other entries in the forum for similar problems, but they all have to do with updates.  This is the first time I was not able to use safe mode, so now I'm stuck.  I hope that I can avoid having to perform a full system recovery, since it is a long involved process and having once before, I always felt the same restart problems after installing updates.

    PA bear,

    Thank you for help... After reading several posts in the forum, one of them reminded people to check with the manufacturer of the computer so that possible solutions... and this is the solution here, I wish I thought of him earlier... I did a system recovery to remove the Windows HP Pro and return to the original version of the default value.  Then I went to the HP site and downloaded the patch according to their directions.  Problems fixed! :-)

    Any PERSON HAVING HARD REBOOT YOUR HP PAVILION (with an AMD processor) after you install Windows XP service pack 2 or 3 updates:

    HP has a patch that solved all my problems.  Clearly, service packs contain information for Intel processors that is in conflict with AMD processors in many HP Pavilion desktop computers.  You can go to their customer service solutions website and download the patch.  Since I did it, I had no other problems. I wish just that I had discovered the solution until I had to do a full system recovery.

    If your computer hangs on reboot 'loop', see if this info. HP will help you:

    The computer restarts after a Stop error message display 0x0000007E (after update with Service Pack 3 for Windows XP)

    If you have had problems with XP updates, including service pack 2 or 3, try this page:

    Before you install Windows XP service pack 3

    You probably reinstalled incorrectly. You do it from Windows? It's the wrong way to do it.

    To do this properly, do not start Windows, but boot from the XP CD and follow the prompts for a clean reinstall. It will begin by formatting the drive, it is not possible to have two facilities here.

    And of course, save on external data that you want to keep before you do.
