Linda, I run Windows XP SP2 and have the updates installed as an automatic routine. It's not a political issue with me, it's just a matter of keeping the OS updates properly installed. They actually do improve the performance of a system. As far as browsers go, I'm currently running (in order of priority) Google Chrome, MSIE 8 (beta), and Firefox. These are all on a single computer as I write this to you, an aging HP with an Intel Celeron processor, as can be seen here in this review:

I bought 12 for my business. They come with windows xp only. 32 bit. These work great for a small business. 12 of these cost about the same as 2 new windows 8 computers.

Why would you do this? I have a PC and a laptop with Windows XP. It has been a great OS, but as you know Microsoft discontinued all tech support for windows XP owners on April 2014. That poses a problem for us in not having a system to the latest updates. What is also very negative you keep receiving messages from MS Windows Essentials: Your system is not safe ..blah blah. It is very bothersome. I guess they want you to jump to Windows 8. Not me! I think Windows 7 Professional is a great OS to work with.

I'm not familiar with SPSS. You can ask them what the minimum system requirements are. I've had no trouble using any of my personal or business applications including Office 2007, ACT!, or QuickBooks 2009.

I run Windows XP SP3 and could never get the software to work. Tried many times with the support but used it and when I wanted to shut down, I just shut windows down, then the back up.

This requires a minimum of Windows XP...so every version above Windows XP should be able to handle it just fine.

Windows XP? What is that? (lol) I have no idea. It would be best to look the printer up on the HP website and read the requirements.

I bought the disk (DVD -- note) and loaded the software to my PC... installed it to the hard disk; I prefer the disk as when I change or upgrade PCs I can reload the software -- after telling Microsoft what I am doing so they don't think I am installing a single-license version on 2 PCs. Please note that it is a DVD and does not load thru a CD-ROM. MS Word 2010 is also the last version of Word that runs on XP SP3.. Be sure of what you are buying -- disk or download; see seller's comments on whether the box/package was opened or not -- that means disk. the Word 2013 version needs Windows 7 or 8 .... Jay

I haven't tried it on xp. I will say that I tried on windows 7 and had no luck installing. I did get it installed on a different pc with windows 8 however I can't get the resolution where I like it freezes or lags...just pay the extra money and by the more reputable ones would be my advice to avoid the hassle

Per the System Requirements on the box it does list XP as an OS it runs on. I never tried it on XP however so I can't tell you how well it works.

Here's a link from microsoft on your question.http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/system-requirementsWindows XP debuted in 2001. Microsoft Discontinued the OEM's for Windows XP in 2008. So at a glance without your system specs. I'd say your computer is at least 5 years old. Rather or not you can install it "I'd say you probably shouldn't unless you meet the recommended(not required) system requirements.

I believe SP 1 is not included. I remember installing it when I ran Windows Update.

The box states that the minimum system requirements are Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7. Intel Pentium Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz or AMD Athlon X2 2.8GHz. I hope this helps.

On the box the requirements are Win 7/XP/Vista - I not sure if it will work on your system or not - It may workIF it has a compatibility to choose like Win 7 has - even at that I still not sure if it will work or not

I don't know the requirements for windows 7. I prefer xp over windows seven a lot of older programs won't run on seven and xp can also run DOS programs. If It has the min. memory and hard drive requirements are there it should work. I bought one of the computers I am not the seller. Mine works great with xp I have Win Seven on another computer but love XP for my older programs.
