can you run Windows XP Mode on this computer?

The Microsoft website says that Windows 7 Professional Edition (on this Dell computer) supports XP Mode. (But Windows XP Home Edition does NOT support it.) XP Mode is a free download from the Microsoft website.

I do not use Windows XP with this motherboard. Gigabyte, on its website, has drivers for Windows XP 32-bit and Windows XP 64-bit. Also, the manual mentions Windows XP for some of the supporting software. I can only assume you should be fine.

It works well on ours. Our Win 7 has XP mode, but as far as I know, the XP mode is not being used at all.

According to the Minimum Requirements, it does support XP. However, my concern would be with an older, slower CPU and limited memory. And XP means less addressable memory in general, so you're likely to see slow performance and a lot of 100% CPU. I have version 10.0 on an XP machine, and it can be painfully slow (especially if you're winning). That PC has 2 GBs of memory and was optimized for audio production originally, so it's a pretty decent machine.

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.

Be happy. Windows 7 runs very well on this laptop, and offers much more than XP.

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.

Windows XP is obsolete and unsupported, but you may find someone prepared to sell you an old copy.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.

I have ahd no trouble with mine. After using XP on a desktop for the better part of 8 years, I found my laptop with Windows 8 to be easy to use. Most of my software was used on XP runs on this machine without a problem. Manuel, if you are contemplating buying this laptop, you will not be disappointed.

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...

Who cares about XP try Win7 64 bit with 4 gig of RAM.... these core 2's fly with it...If someone is doing basic computing these computers will give them years of life.

Yes that's what I ran it on. You may have to run it in Windows XP Compatability mode which is easy to do.
