Please do. Micorsoft refuses to support XP. I have a laptop with Windows 8. It is worthless. I leave it home when I travel. In fact if I can't get someone to change it to Windows 7, I'm getting an Apple.

Yes, you can. Simply put, yes. I used to have an XP. It does work on it. 7 is old, It will even work on windows 2000. Which I also, had where it worked. So yes, go right ahead and upgrade to 7.

You could by a license for Windows 7, reformat the primary drive, and then install the OS. Windows 8 is just another Vista in my opinion.

I wanted XP and got it including discs to reinstall it if necessary but the seller told me he could install 7 if desired.

Forget about windows 8, it's a piece of junk. Get windows 7 instead; not as good as XP but a hell of a lot better than 8 and you can run a XP format from windows 7.

I do not know that you can swap out 8 to 7, But check out the updated Windows 8.1, as it will be nearly the same as 7. I have not done this yet as I am liking the 8 version now. I do know that you will love this computer as I have had mine for many months now.

Even though Windows no longer supports XP, you may still have protection, depending on the anti-virus you will utilize. Most of us have bitten the bullet and upgraded to windows 7 which works well on the T-500s. Hope this helps!

Yes it says so on the box. In real small fine print. I have windows 7 but the box says Xp is good to go.

Yes, you just have to run it in compatibility mode for windows xp (or 98, I forget how I did it)

Yes, but why would you want to? I'd stick w/Windows 7 and wait for 10 (or whatever they are calling it) to come out.

Windows XP is obsolete and unsupported, but you may find someone prepared to sell you an old copy. Windows 7 is much safer particularly if you intend to use it on the web. Some old XP-era programs may not work under Windows 7, but mostly they do. For those programs that absolutely need an XP environment then you can try running Windows XP mode under Windows 7.1 which can be downloaded from: http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Windows-Xp-Mode-in-Windows-7 this is a virtual machine which emulates the XP system.Alternatively try the VMware player as mentioned in another reply.

No, machine I received came with windows XP operating system. If you are looking for the machine with windows 7, you might want to check other machines.

I wouldn't see why not. It was made when xp was still serviced by Microsoft. I'd should work find.

Yes. It is a full standalone operating system that will replace xp. Download the newest version at linuxmint dot com and donate to the project if you like it!

The system comes preloaded with Windows 7. I suppose you could wipe it out and install XP, but why? As an alternative, why not get VMware player (for free) and install XP as an alternate choice OS within the Windows 7 environment?
