Would it be possible to get this with XP instead of 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. :)

I purchased one of these, and it came with Windows XP professional installed. You could, of course, install any operating system you choose....Windows, Linux, or MS-DOS if you wanted....It's your hardware!

Not sure about XP but I have not had any problems with Windows 7. Maybe some research on the Internet might turn up something? Contacting Creative could help. Then there is always the give it a try method if you are feeling adventurous.

yes, but i would not buy it because it came with Windows XP which is outdated, and mine (a used one) died within a few months...

My concern was to get Windows 7, 64 bit. As far as the rest, I don't really know, but I have downloaded for free anything I have wanted to add.

If you had a windows 7 disk and key, it should not be a problem. Do a quick google search though. I know on the past the difference between xp and vista/7 there was a chipset driver that needed installed with it which lead to a giant hassle. As long as the chipsets are the same you are good to go.

HiReally depends on the age of your machine. This version is for system builders, meaning you'd have to wipe windows xp and install win7 fresh. This won't upgrade an existing windows installation.If your machine is older than 4 years, I'd suggest a new machine.The install took 15gb of my hard disk

Yes, you can. Simply put, yes. I used to have an XP. It does work on it. 7 is old, It will even work on windows 2000. Which I also, had where it worked. So yes, go right ahead and upgrade to 7.

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.

Hello, Yes, they have a legal copy of XP on the unit. We install Windows 7 on these units, but if you request it, we can re-install it with Windows XP Pro

It's probably more compatible with windows xp than it is with 7 or 8, but I'd bet it's still going to be a pain to work with. I hate mine.

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.
