Is it possible to install Windows XP x64 on a Dell Latitude 5490?

[GD 2W10]

Hi,

Is it possible to install Windows XP x64 on a Dell Latitude 5490? The laptop is UEFI-only (it can only boot legacy from external ports), so I would need to install XP on UEFI. I have thought about using XP2ESD but wanted to know if there are other ways of getting XP running on the laptop.

XP2ESD have added better UEFI support for XP / 2003 x64, but new version (v1.6.3) is still not released to public and it needs to be tested a lot. You can follow @reboot12 tutorial hwo to deploy XP x64 on UEFI manually.

I can boot the XP x64 installer and complete the first stage, as it can boot Legacy from USB drives, but not internal drives, so I would have to add the Server 2008 UEFI files after the first stage, and I shouldn’t have to integrate graphics drivers as I can install Vista and 7 on the laptop with zero problems (Vista has a few bugs as with all post-Ivy Bridge installs, but it’s still functions). However, I get the 0x0A5 BSOD when booting from the USB. When I press “F7”, it just gives me an option between ACPI Uniprocessor x64, ACPI Multiprocessor x64, and Other, but selecting either of those gives me a BSOD. I am using WinSetupfromUSB btw.

I tried integrating the ACPI driver found here, and I don't get the 0x000000A5 error, but now I am getting the 0x0000007B error, and I have AHCI drivers integrated into the ISO. I used Fernando's universal AHCI drivers.

My SSD is actually not an Intel SSD, it's actually a Micron SSD, which was probably why Fernando's drivers didn't work. I found some hardware IDs for my SSD. I found SCSI\DISK&VEN_MICRON&PROD_1100_SATA_512GB\4&1F3FCE9C&0&020000 and SCSI\DiskMicron__1100_____________M0D. However, for the first one, I am only able to find drivers for XP x86 on drp.su, but I could find drivers for 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 11 both x86 and x64, and for the second I only found one for x86 (I think it might be Vista). Where can I find XP x64 drivers for this SSD?

I have decided to switch over to installing XP x86 with XP2ESD. I thought it was impossible to boot legacy internally from that laptop, but I found out by letting "Press any key to boot from USB" time out, I was able to boot to the hard drive, or by booting from the hard drive with WinSetupfromUSB.

https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/product-support/product/latitude-14-5490-laptop/drivers here is the driver page for this laptop (it shows the newest it can do is windows 11) with some hunting you might be able to get it working fully on this laptop

AND it doesn't mention XP64.

Here is a Wikipedia page about scope:

It will help the OP as much as your post (not at all ) but you might find it interesting .
