Will this computer run XP? How stupid would it be to wipe Win 7 and install XP Pro? Must be 64 bit??

You do NOT want to run XP any more, now that Microsoft has stopped issuing security patches for XP.

Pretty stupid... Windows 7 is nearly the same thing, it's a whole lot easier to learn than Windows 8.

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.

The only distinction made on the MS site's details about it is for XP 64bit... so I'm guessing yes?

Yes and yes. Pero en xp no se apreciaría las maravillas del i7 de 64 bits. Recomiendo ponerle windos7 ultímate. Pero le puedes poner cualquier sistema operativo e idioma.

I've run it on Windows 7, and can only testify to that OS. So, I would be surprised if it weren't compatible with XP. I don't know (and have my doubts) as to whether it would work on Windows 8.

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.

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. :)

Forget about windows 8, it's a piece of junk. Get windows 7 instead; not as good as XP but a hell of a lot better than 8 and you can run a XP format from windows 7.

I am running Win7 Pro 64-bit on both my laptop and my main PC and its works great with both. However, you should be able to check the Samsung website to find compatibility issues with most, if not all versions of Windows Operating Systems. Sorry I couldn't have been more specific to your concerns. Microsoft as stopped offering updates for XP, so if you get a chance, you should update to Win7. I prefer Win7 over the new Win8. Win8 seems too invasive into your private life!

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.

My system (xp-pro) is a 32 bit.Go to 'My Computer' (likely on your desktop) and clicl on Prpoerties. If '64' pops up, your system is 64; otherwise it is 32 by default.donama

I only have XP but as I interpret their specs, XP is mentioned only as a minimum requirement and to assure people with old systems like mine that it will still work. Surely it will work with the newer ones.

It would work with XP, But the computer power supply and processor speed would be the question here. You will need at the least a 500 watt power supply. Also be aware that in 2014 windows XP, Will not have any more support from Microsoft, No more updates, ect...

Just checked the box it says good for WinXP (SP3), Vista (SP1)/7/8 and that's quoted in system requirements. Hope this helps.
