Hi,

did anybody here try XP (32bit or 64bit) on the Ryzen/AM4 platform?

What was the result?

Which HW did you try?

P.S.: I found only two threads that mentioned XP on Ryzen at all. If, for some reason, i failed at searching on MSFN, and missed YOUR thread, just throw in a link to that thread here. Thank you!

P.P.S.: I don't own a Ryzen yet, i'm still evaluating if i invest that money. If i did already, i'd not post questions, but results...

P.P.P.S.: If you did NOT try, please help keeping this thread compact, by opening a new thread for rants on why not, or why to use a VM, or whatever. This thread is meant for people trying on hardware. Thanks for your cooperation...

At the very least, AM4 boards would need CSM to support non-EFI booting. Without that XP would never boot (unless someone manages to hack EFI support).

Good hint. As far as i can see, the board i have in mind, ASRock Fatal1ty X370 Gaming X, has it (necessarily, as it has both PS/2 mouse and PS/2 keyboard).
