Want to put Windows XP Pro 32bit operating system on it and use it to boot up my older desktop. Is this possible?? Thanks

Sure. As long as the BIOS supports bootable USB. Set the BIOS to boot from this device and install XP to this device.

Not likely. the hardware, including the mother board may not be compatible. the Windows web site can provide relavent info. The hard drive must be formated in order to install Win. XP. It is easy to go forward and very difficult to go back.

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?

Yes. I also did the very same thing. However, I only use my XP laptop for my older programs that there are no newer versions on the market. I use my Windows 7 / Linux laptop for everything else.

Yes ! Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit runs great. Max out the memory and add an SSD for better performance if you can

Absolutely will work just fine as all three of those operating systems use NTFS. However the limit of 32bit Windows XP means it cannot recognize a hard drive that is larger than 2 terabytes regardless of how it's partitioned so I recommend formatting an entire 2 terabyte hard drive or smaller as NTFS.

Easy easy easy yes you can on both. First you need a bootable USB with the operating system on it or a cloning program. Here, check out the clean install video I made. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16m25etC3lo

HiReally depends on the age of your machine. This version is for system builders, meaning you'd have to wipe windows xp and install win7 fresh. This won't upgrade an existing windows installation.If your machine is older than 4 years, I'd suggest a new machine.The install took 15gb of my hard disk

I'm currently running 4gb with win7 pro. It won't boot with 8gb, but I don't know if this is WIN or my modules. It should run 16gb or more with a 64bit system.

Hi, If your PC falls within the system's requirments of Windows 7 pro, then you may have to do a clean install of this OS.Thanks, PCrush

The OS on this unit is actually going to be Win7 PRO 64bit. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank You, ServerMonkey

Win7 Pro (64 bit) is the default. But we can install 32 bit OS per request.

You have to check with the vendor for exact configuration available. I got one with Win7 Pro 32bit, pre-installed. It came with a knock-off "Win 7 repair CD" and a DVD with a current "system image" for recovery of the operating system in the event the drive fails.

Sure, but if you already have this machine, you might trying setting up a Win8 VM on it. That would allow you to keep your installation reasonably virgin, and minimize the risks of changing the OS and bungling it all up.

The computer I purchased has Windows XP Professional (it was likely leased to a company before being refurbished). The seller did not include a Windows re-installation disk so I asked for one and it was provided free of charge. I'm pretty sure you can upgrade to Windows 7 or 8 if you have enough memory. I would check on the Microsoft website to see if it meets the upgrade criteria since Windows XP support ends April 14, 2014.
