I don't think you can install Windows XP on machines with that CPU. It simply won't install.

Regards.

Today's computer hardware's are more advanced, and Windows XP is the too old operating system.

Windows XP doesn't recognize your CPU at all.

There is no way to install windows XP on your notebook.

Hi

If it is new and has an OS already then it may be possible to install it via a virtual box, and see what errors are thrown up.

Then decide if it's worth it.

So why XP specifically?

Thanks to all for the information,

I need to install Windows XP for PLC Programming in my plant.

The program works only in Windows XP Operating System.

Is there any way to installed Windows XP in My HP Notebook 14-bw010au without

installing it under virtual machine.

Thank you.

Hi

So long ago...

I would look at XP and look for a setup.exe WinNT32.exe and see if there are any switches (/log) to force an install or whatever.

Did you checked the newer version of PLC software? I think updating your current software's may help you to work with windows 10.

@pritam2015

I have already check PLC Software (Allen Bradley Software). PLC  5/80E Allen Bradley.

My software license works only in Microsoft Windows XP Operating system.

Windows 10 not compatible for Industrial PLC Programs in my Plant. Therefor we still use

the old operating system like Windows XP.

Solution 1: Check for software update

I don't know your requirements but I searched on Google for plc software for windows 10 I found some tools check on the google for same.

Solution 2: Use compatibility mode

I remember that Windows 7 has a compatibility mode for Windows XP so try to install windows 7 and run the program in compatibility mode as Windows XP.

Solution 3: Use Windows XP mode for windows 7

Another way to run your PLC software using Windows 7 is to download and install Windows XP mode for Windows 7.

Download Windows XP mode from here

https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=8002

This is official Microsoft project to run many of productivity programs that run on Windows XP on Windows 7 so I think installing Windows XP mode in Windows 7 will definitely work for you.

I hope this will help you.

Good luck
