yes. I am running this on an older netbook witb 1gig ram and a small hard drive.

Yes, it will. I had no problems running it on Windows 8, or the 8.1 upgrade either.

Not sure; I run Win7-64bit on all my machines. Looking at Jeffery's post, I'm thinking "yes" but you may have to run it in Win7 "compatibility" mode.

You might, however I would recommend installing Windows 7 or 8 and running XP and your old software on a virtual machine. I have done this before on OS X and Windows 7 hosts, and hardware locked (USB dongle) software.

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

Should work fine; works perfectly on 7, and there are no fundamental operational differences in 7 and XP as far as peripherals like keyboards, mice, etc. Good luck.

Will it run XP 32? Yes.What are you giving up? over 3/4 of your main memory.TL/DR section:32-bit x86 architecture means 32 bits for addressing memory and other peripherals. That sets a hard limit on RAM capacity at (effectively) 4 GB. 512 MB of address space is used to address peripherals. Video RAM on the video card is also addressable memory, so 3.5 GB - Video RAM = usable system memory. if yours is like mine, you'd end up at 2GB of usable system RAM.unless you have a very specific need for XP 32, stick with a 64 bit OS

Absolutely. I run 64 bit Windows 7 Ultimate. You can also run 32 bit if you wanted to. The manufacturer's lists all the specs here http://ark.intel.com/m/products/27251/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-E6700-4M-Cache-2_66-ghz-1066-mhz-fsb

I used it on a Win7 machine, but it was very straightforward so it should work for an XP machine. You might check the drivers on the StarTech site just to be sure. Most of these are pretty non-OS specific.

It should run fine. But check and make sure it will with everything else on your PC.

Far as I know it will, as I was using it on an XP. May need a little bit of patience for it to get started.

This upgrade will work without issue, XP has a limit of addressing between 3 and 3.5GB of memory so this 2GB will be fully recognizable

Yes very well. That is assuming that you are talking about 32 bit XP, as it was written for 32 bit operating systems. I could be wrong about the 64 bit being a problem, as I have no experience with 64 bit systems.

Yes. I have run all expansion packs on an old Compaq with 2GB Memory and it did OK; we are currently running on a Dell laptop with 3GB Memory and it does just fine.I would not expect you to have any trouble.

It should be. But you may have to run it in Windows XP compatibility mode, which you will be prompted to accept to be run with administrator privileges, which is a potential security risk

I'm using it on xp on a 8 to 10 year old refurbished dell with only 512 ram, works great
