BlackOtton Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 Hey everyone! This is actually my first post ever (I mainly looked around Vista Kernel Extension for a while). I found some posts on here and other forums, where people are getting Windows XP/Vista on their modern machines. The question I have, is if it's possible to get XP x64 on my machine? My specifications are as follows: Motherboard: MSI H310M Pro-M2 Plus (H310 Chipset) CPU: Intel Core i5-9400F (2.9Ghz, 6-cores) GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1050Ti Gaming X 4G RAM: 16GB DDR4 2666Mhz (2x8) Ethernet: Intel I219-V If it's not possible to get XP x64 to work, is it possible to get Vista? Thanks in advance for help!
i430VX Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 That's a TALL order for XP. Vista would be relatively easier, however not easy, and maybe not even fun. For example, the GTX 1000 series has NO XP support, and Vista drivers exist, however their performance is crippled (I believe DirectX performance, specifically) as for the other hardware, I cannot speak for specifically, but generally, 4th gen was the last generation that played nicely with XP, and 3rd gen the last for vista (in most cases 4th has vista stability issues.) It seems that you have 9th gen. 2
BlackOtton Posted March 21, 2021 Author Posted March 21, 2021 I understand, I guess I will stay on debloated Windows 10 then. Thank you for response!

It seems that you have 9th gen. Just throwing some two cents in here for @BlackOtton, but if you want to make an XP64 system that's as recent as you can get, you could follow what I did with Palouser, my XP64 machine. @XP-x64-Lover located a suite of XP64 drivers for the ASUS X99 SABERTOOTH motherboard. That gets you into 5th gen territory, so you could go all the way up to the Broadwell-E. With Matt's Repository's findings, you could get Windows XP drivers for the nVidia Geforce GTX 970, 980, 980 TI and Titan X. At least until Version 368.81. @bluebolt was able to get an NVMe drive to work as a boot drive for XP64. This would get you up to 2016-level specs. Well, bleeding edge for 2016. As I understand it, the 10xx series of nVidia video cards are still the most commonly used by gamers, partially due to ... well ... the economic forces at play right now. When I overhauled Palouser in 2019 (well, I got started locating parts in 2018, but still) I went balls-to-the-wall. I use Palouser as my do-everything daily driver and workstation, but of course, I am limited by what programs can be made to work on XP64. So she's got an i7-6950X, a TITAN X Maxwell, and 128 GB of RAM. Not the highest-specced RAM, but as I understand it, Intel CPUs of this generation weren't very strongly impacted by RAM speed. I don't know if anyone has had luck with newer hardware. I have heard of people getting XP to run on Ryzen, but aside from a photo I've not seen anyone post instructions on how they did it. EDIT: Well that sucks. I found the guy who said he succeeded at this, but he links to Win-Raid as proof of his accomplishment and the post is gone. There was a whole thread apparently, "XP/W2k3 x86 on Modern Hardware," that had a lot of information on workarounds and compatible drivers which got nuked during a forum database migration and was never restored. On the other hand, there's a thread at Win-Raid titled "XP/W2k3 x64 on Modern Hardware." The first few posts are by someone who claims to have gotten XP64 running on Coffee Lake. That's eighth gen Intel Core CPUs, circa 2017 ... in fact, that's what your machine has, right? Edited April 3, 2022 by TrevMUN
