  1. I installed the Windows XP Professional x64 operating system on a Samsung 970 Pro NVME SSD drive using an ASRock X99 Extreme4 motherboard. Really easy the second time. Download Kai Schtrom's driver here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/nvme-for-windows-2003-server/files/ Download KB932755 here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11619 Download AOMEI Backupper Standard here: https://www.aomeitech.com/download.html Use diskpart in Windows 7 x64 to create the aligned partition on, and format, the NVMe drive (the Windows 7 OS must have an NVMe driver installed, or diskpart will not be able to see the NVMe drive). Use Device Manager in XP x64 to install Schtrom's driver, which makes the NVMe SSD available as a storage drive -- and the XP x64 operating system as such now includes the NVMe driver. Run the storport hotfix. Use AOMEI Backupper to clone the XP x64 disk to the NVMe disk (remember to align the partition). Reboot into the BIOS and set the NVMe drive to boot first. I don't know whether Kai Schtrom had Windows XP 64-bit in mind when he wrote his driver, but for those of you running that OS it does present the potential for significant performance improvement, to say the least.

  2. Quite by accident, I stumbled upon a MS support page regarding KB4507704 which deals with DST changes in Windows for Brazil and Morocco: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4507704/ This update was released on July 15, 2019 and was last revised on November 7, 2019. It clearly states on the support page this update applies to Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 and it even goes so far as to give detailed instructions on how to obtain it for this platform: Specifically, Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 Method 1: Windows Update This update is provided as an Optional update on Windows Update. For more information about how to run Windows Update, see How to get an update through Windows Update. Method 2: Windows Server Update Service This update is now available for installation through WSUS. Method 3: Microsoft Update Catalog To get the standalone package for this update, go to the Microsoft Update Catalog website. Note: You must be running Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or a later version. Prerequisites To apply this update, you must have Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 installed, or Service Pack 2 for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 installed. There are no prerequisites to install this update on Windows 10, Windows Server 2016, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012, or Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 (emphasis mine). While I realize this is not a required update by any means, I have nevertheless not been offered it via Windows Update, I don't use WSUS and it is not listed in the MS update catalog for this platform. Did anyone happen to obtain KB4507704 and archive it? Surely it has to be out there somewhere but, despite my best search efforts, I cannot seem to locate it anywhere. There's something extremely gratifying to me about applying official MS updates on an OS after its EOS support date and if I can do it with this one, I'm absolutely going to. Any insight, assistance and/or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

  3. Confirming you are correct: the 980 Ti card works fine using the same driver sets from BWC.

  5. A heads up for those who are interested; I have uploaded a few more pieces of Rudy's work to my site. These are mostly things that weren't advertised or well known.

  7. As the original https://github.com/CNMan/MicrosoftHotfixesList/issues/2 poster said I checked some of them, one is superseded, one for IE8 is not necessory (although not marked as superseded, in fact only last IE cumulative patch is needed). I think others might also be like that.

  8. 15 years later I still use Sony Vegas 9.0e 64-bit (released May, 2010) to produce MP4 files (H264 + AAC) 720p/1080p on WinXP SP2 x64 - The best system from MS

  9. @TrevMUN Smart Defrag will assist you in Trimming your SSD Drives. That's what I use, and it's free too; simply run the program and click on Trim & Intelligent Optimize. Now, sometimes your SSD Device will show up as a Hard Drive instead of a Solid State Drive. Simply hoover over where it shows the HDD Icon and your Drive Name; and Two Arrows will appear, click up or down until you see it change your drive to SSD. As stated above, click Trim & Intelligent Optimize, just hoover your mouse over the arrow that's pointing right (It's next to the Trim button) and it will give you that option. I have yet to test Smart Defrag's Trimming abilities with NVME based drives but, I would expect it to work the same way; as long as windows sees it; it should also see it. Enjoy and Good luck!

  10. I had been meaning to respond to this topic for a week, but I'd been so preoccupied with work and other commitments that I hadn't had the chance to ... until now! I wanted to leave a huge thank-you, @XP-x64-Lover, for all you've done in finding these drivers and allowing those of us sticking with XP64 a chance to upgrade to hardware a bit more recent. Between your drivers and the trick explained by Matt's Repository for getting XP/XP64 drivers for the nVidia 9XX series, on Memorial Day Weekend I was able to finally give my desktop the badly needed overhaul I'd been wanting to do since my first posts at MSFN back in 2014! That's 64 GB of DDR4 RAM, SABERTOOTH X99 motherboard, Intel i7-6950X CPU, and a GeForce GTX TITAN X. I wasn't able to get the SSD thing sorted out, so I wound up using the IDE method, which has worked amazingly well with my existing install. Since @bluebolt figured out a way to get an install of XP64 working on a NVMe 2.0 drive, I may skip the SSD and attempt a fresh install off of that instead, since the X99 has a bay for NVMe drives. For now, though, I'm just excited to have not only put my hardware troubles behind me for now, but that I've now got the RAM upgrade I've wanted for years!
