March 18, 20224 yr Just reporting 32-bit Windows XP (POSReady 2009 actually) installs and runs fine [1] on an Acer Aspire AX1400 mini-tower. I've only owned it a short while, a nice compact 64-bit Windows 7 tower circa 2010 or 2011. IIRC the AX1300 was the last official Windows XP release so getting Windows XP running on the AX1400 wasn't a big stretch. Official audio drivers from the AX1300 were utilized (32-bit Windows XP). The ethernet driver was from a 3rd party site, don't recall. Graphic drivers are official release GeForce 6150SE from NVIDIA. Driver install files used: Audio_Realtek_6.0.1.5591_XPx86_A.zip Ethernet_32-bit_MCP61_lan.zip NVIDIA_OFFICIAL_307.83-winxp-32bit.exe The system triple-boots. All hardware works in 64-bit Devuan GNU/Linux, using the 'nouveau' driver, and it's able to run all modern browsers without AMD's PSP spyware. [1] In Windows XP built-in Windows search is broken, always shows no results. Noticed this on two recent 32-bit Windows XP installs on 64-bit hardware. Interestingly Windows search works fine when same OS is installed on 32-bit hardware.
