    Need help/advice - install Windows XP newer laptop


    Hi mates,

    I have an Lenovo Thinkpad T450S running Windows 10.( i5 broadwell, 12gb ram, ssd evo 850 samsung)

    I need to run Windows XP and tryied to install but failed..

    Maybe my logic is incorrect or i get wrong something. The notebook don.t have sata operation mode in BIOS.

    Is there someone who can explain or give an ideea/ advice in installing Dual Boot on this newer laptop WIndows XP ? (i don.t want Virtual Machine, is useless for me).

    Is pretty urgent.
    Thank you.

    :)

    not able to copy files from PC to nokia lumia 520

    I have read in other threads with XP OS specifically having problems detecting windows phones. I think, you should consider upgrading to a newer.

    It has been more than 10 years. It's time to break up with XP, is my advice.

    XP to Windows 10 no USB boot option

    I've bought a windows 10 flash stick to upgrade my laptop from xp to windows 10. On reading the instructions I discovered I need to boot my laptop from the usb to initiate the install. However, I've now realised my Bios boot up options only include harddrive,
    floppy, dvd/cd and network, there is no usb option.

    Is there anyway around this? Or do I need to try and return the flash stick for a refund and try the download version?

    Many thanks in advance for any help and advice (in laymans terms please).

    Hello *Smile

    You are taking me back down memory lane! I seem to remember that XP did not have the built in SATA drivers and you needed to install them along with XP. To do this there was a special option (F6) that allowed you to insert a SATA driver disc into a floppy drive (which we used back then). However, all this is irrelevant if the laptop BIOS does not support SATA compatibility mode and so it may be impossible to dual boot the two operating systems.

    There is a big thread on this topic here: https://www.tenforums.com/installatio...-best-way.html

    What do you need XP for? If its a simple case of running a program, maybe consider running XP in a virtual desktop?
