Windows 10: Install Win11 on NVMe and WinXP/7 on HDD in the same laptop

Hello, I own an asus x415ea with processor Intel i5 of 11th gen, 16Gb RAM, 500GB NVMe and an expandable slot for a HDD which would be a 1000 GB driveI was wondering if it would be possible given that the drivers existed, which I would search to install a WinXP or Win7 in my HDD as these old OS are not supported in NVMe. The problems that I see are:- I've seen WinXP running on i5 4th gen processors, but these are way too old compared to my specs- I've got too much RAM for WinXP even though I've seen some PCs with 8GB of RAM running WinXPWould that mean that WinXP is not installable in my

How to run a WinXP application on a Win11 laptop ?

Tamal

Many thanks for suggesting that solution.
I had never thought of using compatibility mode before.

I ran the MS Compatibility Troubleshooter and it seemed to figure out what the solution needed to be.

I migrated the last version of my WinXP Quicken data onto the new Win11 laptop and opened that data file in Quicken - SUCCESS !!

When I open the Quicken application the 'home' screen is slightly unstable - one or more of the side function QuickTabs may be missing but I can recover those by clicking in their approximate position and generally everything else seems to be fine

 

Will I lose dual-booting if I clone HDD to NVMe using Macrium?

NavyLCDR - interesting suggestion - connect the NVMe drive before running the steps in the amazing article I linked to? Just to see that the 7010 (in each of Win 10 and Win 7 booting from the HDD) recognizes the NVMe for storage purposes, and that therefore each Win has the drivers for the Samsung NVMe? I like it.

Does Windows 7 even have suitable drivers for nvme drives?
