    installing win 10 x32 on xp laptop


    I downloaded and installed win 10 pro on my xp pro laptop. All went great until I wanted to activate windows. how I can activate it. It doesn't let me make any changes, including the simplest fixing the clock.

    Dell M6400 Laptop - BSOD Installing XP Pro X32

    Win 7 works fine, I'm typing on it right now. Wondering if I should actually jump and upgrade. There must be a driver somewhere that I can use to install XP *Wtf :wtf:

    Not a particularly productive suggestion. Though I'd never buy a Dell, I have had luck with thier laptops errm... excepting this time, lol.

    Dell M6400 Laptop - BSOD Installing XP Pro X32

    There should be. Otherwise, you wouldn't have had XP in the first place. Unless you have to absolutely use XP for some older programs that no longer work with 7, I'd suggest you jump the boat and use 7.

    Having owned two DELL laptops so far, I know that their OS restore CDs often come with slightly modified drivers to make it work without getting BSOD. For a good example, my Dell XPS M1330, it has vista home premium 32bit. If I use a regular vista 32bit CD, it will get BSOD during install. I have to use DELL's OS restore CD to get it installed.
