Hello;

Allow me to welcome you to the HP forums!

Your model laptop comes with different OSs preinstalled, and if yours came with Win10, you are NOT going to find XP drivers for the hardware included in your laptop.

Since you apparently have WinXP install media, then my suggestion would be to use VirtualBox to create a Virtual Machine (VM) to hold XP and install it in there. That way, if it does not work, you can simply remove the VM.

Here is info on VirtualBox: https://www.virtualbox.org/

Good Luck
