Does this come with windows XP mode?

All W7 Pro PCs and laptops come with XP mode (including this one). XP mode is not to be confused with XP operating system downgrade.

Yes, it does work with Windows XP. Be sure to have the updated Bluetooth® for Windows® software.

Good news, this now works with Windows 7. see here The procedure involves downloading / installing Windows XP Mode & Windows Virtual PC from MS site:http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspxand following the on-screen instructions on installing the Win XP device in Win 7 environment, and the SiPix Owner's Manual.

Yes if you buy it from a reputable person. I love mine but had to go thru a lot to get it to stop shutting down on me bc it did not originally come with Windows 7. I returned one bc I did not read the fine print and bought one that came with NOTHING on it and returned to get one with Windows 7. And I was not happy with the company I got it from. It kept going into to sleep mode, turning off, whatever, and their reply was oh Windows 7 just does that sometimes!!! HUH!!! Had it wiped clean and still had to make sure some power setting were set right. I googled it and finally solved the problem myself. But I highly recomment an HP Compaq. I think running Windows 7 is the problem bc this one is old and meant to run XP.

It does with the proper driver. However, since Windows XP is no longer supported, I would hesitate to use it on a local net that offered access to the internet since there will be no further security upgrades.

Yes it does . I have mine still from when I had windows xp, vista and now windows 7, I'm typing with it now, it works great too! microsoft updates your software . You only need to go to their site and download the drivers.

yes, but i would not buy it because it came with Windows XP which is outdated, and mine (a used one) died within a few months...

Mine doesn't. Have had the machine for at least a couple of months now and have been totally satisfied. Windows 8 was a little hard to get used to after XP but I can pretty much make it do what I need now.

Per the System Requirements on the box it does list XP as an OS it runs on. I never tried it on XP however so I can't tell you how well it works.

Yes, it does. Just allow windows 8 plug-n-play feature recognize it. I did not have to do anything but install it make sure I set the BIOS correctly and in the sequence I wanted and reboot the computer. If you still have any problems, go to device manager and see if it shows up. If it shows as the driver not being installed, go to properties and select the "driver" tab then update driver. Select manual installation. Hit return and it should display the drivers that are intended to work with the ROM. Select the newest one that is Microsoft certified and see if it installs. If it doesn't keep trying with the other displayed drivers. If none load, you either have a defective unit or a defective SATA port or cable. There is absolutely no reason for it to not work. I am assuming that you know your way around a BIOS and have it set correctly before anything else. If the BIOS is improperly set, Windows may not even "see" it. That may also be indicated when in device manager, the ROM does not show at all. I have purchased several of these units and have used them on everything from XP on to 8.1. Never a failure.

The one I bought came with XP Pro, that's why I bought it. That was a while ago, though. May have changed by now?

A bit skeptical, based on this page (under compatibility): http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/04/DriverDetails?driverId=R146832However, this PC does have an XP mode so perhaps it may, it's just that it's a 64-bit system. (But I think this PC is a good deal anyhow, Win7 Pro installed and came with a Win8 CD, working great so far).

Mine came with XP which was described in the both the description and tech details. It appears they offer Windows 7 refurbs as well.

Mine does not have the XP pro installed, and I do not know if it can be installed. Mine has Windows 7.

Kade C. Your answer is probably the worst answer to a question I have ever seen. This is because no, they do not offer a Windows XP option to come with this computer. However, if you purchase the install disk for Windows XP, and clear the hard drives, yes, you could easily boot it with Windows XP instead of Windows 7. But, unless there is a VERY specific reason you want XP, please get Windows 7 instead. It's much more smooth and you will be far more pleased. Keep in mind, this is a "gaming" PC, so smooth is your best friend. :)
