Can you install XP Pro on the Wind? Can you install XP Pro on the Wind?

I've read on the MSI forum and talked to my laptop supplier that you can run XP Pro on the MSI. This particular version has the huztpa to do it. Make sure that you know what drivers for the wireless, wired network, video, and sound. I'm sure I am forgetting something else, but that should cover most of it. Though I wouldn't put Office 07 on it, it could bog it down a tad. I tried Office 07 on the XP Home my laptop supplier had and it was a tad slow, but I still want one

Hello Frary, You don't have many options here. There are 2 different streams of information to your case. 1- Windows XP is not designed to deal with such technology. If you want to insist, you can try and make a clean installation of XP Pro on SSD (boot, format then install with CD); then, if you succeed, make sure to install a program to verify your partitions' alignment (e.g Paragon Alignment Tool 2.0), deactivate Prefetch, auto-defrag and disk indexing service. Note that you will not have any benefit of SSD in windows XP, it will act like a normal HDD with a shorted life span. 2- XP will fully accept SSD with no problems. I doubt a little of (2), but is up to you. You can try reading at http://forums.hexus.net/storage/242285-ssd-windows-xp-pro.html for more information. Cheers.

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.

Should have no problem with that. You may want to upgrade to Windows 7 though, since XP is no longer supported by Microsoft and you will not get any further security updates for it.

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

You want to run XP on your burner? That won't work. But the other way arond, XP supports that burner, yes.

This device was originally set up for Windows XP. If you have Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate, you can also download Virtual XP. This gives you Windows XP within your Windows 7 operating system. You can then use those devices originally set up for Windows XP.

It's listed on the box, and as long as XP is still supported by Windows, it should continue to be supported by this product. You can always double check the AMD website for the appropriate catalyst driver, and as long as it is still listed there, it is still supported.

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.

Just echoing the replies already given (moral support I guess). XP has not been officially supported since version 1.7 of the Maschine software (currently 1.8.2), but many people seem to be running on it just fine. There are some threads about this on the NI forums as well, for instance: http://www.native-instruments.com/forum/showthread.php?t=176281 There is no fee for using or updating the software. All NI products use an application called the Service Center, which is a very slick, fast, unobtrusive license and update manager which handles that for you. Moving between PCs is or adding a secondary install is trivial (just run it on the other system), should you decide to upgrade.

Yes. I also did the very same thing. However, I only use my XP laptop for my older programs that there are no newer versions on the market. I use my Windows 7 / Linux laptop for everything else.

Yes, go to to the anytime upgrade and run it and use the Key that came with the family pack. With xp you can run it by backing up the system first and then installing it. You need a usb hard drive to back up your doc. pic. and music first. The windows web site will talk you thru it if you have a computer nearby to follow along by the numbers.

Hey, I'm running windows XP Pro w/ service pack 3 - had no issues installing this adaptoor right from the driver disk. Not a hiccup or anything, which suprised me given the price being so reasonable. I don't think I've had it a full year yet but if you're having troubles I'd say, If you havnt done so already, take any hard line internet source from the PC so it's completely uninfluenced, remove any software that might have partially installed (control panel - add/remove hardware), remove the power cable from it while it's sitting at the desktop idle but still on (hard rest), wait a few minutes, reattach power line, start, if ask start XP normally, and do a fresh install of the adaptor. If that doesn't work I'd try to download the other service packs from another computer to a flash drive and move them / install to the troubled unit. Actually inserting that updating after the hard rest but before the new attempt at installing the card would make the best sequence of steps. I hope this helps.

I installed one on my Windows 7 Pro system (upgraded from XP). It works just fine.
