The system comes preloaded with Windows 7. I suppose you could wipe it out and install XP, but why? As an alternative, why not get VMware player (for free) and install XP as an alternate choice OS within the Windows 7 environment?

Windows XP is obsolete and unsupported, but you may find someone prepared to sell you an old copy. Windows 7 is much safer particularly if you intend to use it on the web. Some old XP-era programs may not work under Windows 7, but mostly they do. For those programs that absolutely need an XP environment then you can try running Windows XP mode under Windows 7.1 which can be downloaded from: http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Windows-Xp-Mode-in-Windows-7 this is a virtual machine which emulates the XP system.Alternatively try the VMware player as mentioned in another reply.

it came w/ windows xp I'm not sure if they can still 'load' it or not. I've heard XP is going away

I doubt it. It's not supported by MS any longer and has greater vulnerabilities with each passing day. You can contact the vendor and ask directly.

yes, but i would not buy it because it came with Windows XP which is outdated, and mine (a used one) died within a few months...

I have an older laptop (about 8 yers old) with Windows XP. No problems at all.

I wouldn't advise it. Since Microsoft servers do not support a lot of XP systems anymore. I suggest upgrading to Windows seven. I have Windows 7 Ultimate and a great video card. If you do this, make sure your power supply in your pc can handle a better video card. Otherwise, you can damage your system.

I haven't tried, I purchased it as the XP-Pro was necessary for a particular program I run and the computer is dedicated to that program. The ram would be a bit light on the one I got.

Yes. It is a full standalone operating system that will replace xp. Download the newest version at linuxmint dot com and donate to the project if you like it!

sorry,can't answer. The company that was to install a new hard drive in my computer opted to pay part cost on a new computer because my computer was old. I have not used my copy of "xp" and will probably list it on Amazon

Yes. As long as your system has a PCI port it will work fine with all versions of XP.

Not pre-loaded, you would have to buy Windows 7 separately and do a downgrade install.

I highly doubt it since this computer is rather old. I think it might have windows 7 however. (Mine had XP)

I'm not sure about XP, but I am using it on 32 bit Win 7, so it might be okay for you.

I really don't know. It is a good computer but still running XP. My husband uses it only to surf the net. We have had it 2 years now and it is running great.

I wanted XP and this came with it. I am hooked up to a router from my internet server so I don't see why you wouldn't be able to. My Dell works very well.

Yes, but you must obtain the current drivers as soon as possible from HP before they are no longer available. Support for the XP operating system by Microsoft will soon come to an end. (Microsoft has delayed the final action to drop this operating system until sometime near Spring of 2015)

Yes, I run my computer with XP. It's running great and I do alot of printing. It's worth it.
