how about compatibility with Windows XP in a dimension 4550? Thanks

I recently received a notice from Microsoft that Windows XP support will end. XP is compatible but will no longer be supported.

Should be compatible, just make sure you know what type of cable connection ports you have IDE or SATA, it is a simple swap.

You will be okay with this item if you have Window's XP in a dimension 4550 but you must check to see which on you have because if it's a Pata or Sata because you might need an adapter to use it if it's not the same as yours. So open your computer and check to see which one you have. If you have any problems just email me again and I will show you what to look for or how to make sure you have the right one okay?

if the dell dimension has a sata port it will work with any windows from xp up. it should be plug and play after you hook up the cords.

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

All I know is that it did not work with XP or win 2000. You might get lucky but I sure hope you like to play.

I do not know, I bought it for my wife and she is using XP on her PC. It works great there.

You can use Windows XP with SP3 (32 bit) or Windows Vista or higher(For 32 or 64 biit).I use it successfully on Windows 7 and 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.

Windows 7 is fine, tested and proven. I don't think XP will be a problem since it runs in 7.

I had success with xp and Windows 8, my guess would be that it would be compatible with the operating system in between these two versions. I would go to Toshiba web site for more research.

Yes, you just have to run it in compatibility mode for windows xp (or 98, I forget how I did it)

I have Windows XP, and it works fine. The packaging doesn't specify the operating systems with which it is compatible. I'm sorry that I can't be more helpful.

My first question is why spend a dime on such an old laptop. Windows XP will not be supported after April 9th.

You probably could, not sure why you would. (XP support ended April 8th, 2014)I bet it would take some serious investigation looking into which manufacturers chips are on the board (I mean specifically -- realtek, marvell, intel, etc) and download them from their websites. Good luck. I wouldn't waste my time, but some might need it, or want to run Virtual Machine sessions.

I'm running Windows 7 under Parallels. Do you happen to know if the drivers would work here as well as XP?

You will have to buy a different Operating System now. Windows won't give you the necessary updates for your computer and you won't be able to run any software. Support for XP ended in April 2014

Shouldn't be a problem. I use mine with XP Pro x64 via VMWare Fusion and have had no issues.
