Title: Where to buy Windows XP in Tulsa Post by: Aa5drvr on November 04, 2009, 09:55:55 am Have a new machine that requires XP to run some complex but old peripherals. All the big box stores have replaced all of their Windows versions with the new Windows 7.
Anyplace I can find a copy of XP in an upgrade form locally? Title: Re: Where to buy Windows XP in Tulsa Post by: sgrizzle on November 04, 2009, 10:01:50 am You can't upgrade Windows 7 to XP, you would have to buy the full version.
You might try Wholesale Computer Supply. 250-7283 Title: Re: Where to buy Windows XP in Tulsa Post by: Aa5drvr on November 04, 2009, 10:09:48 am Going from Vista to XP

From what I understand it is a fully licensed copy and works quite well. Should be able to run any xp native applications that you would require you to have XP loaded on your computer.
Title: Re: Where to buy Windows XP in Tulsa Post by: stageidea on November 04, 2009, 11:44:04 am It depends which version. I believe you need Windows 7 Home Premium at least to run XP compatability mode. I personally just installed an XP Virtual Machine on the systems that I had issues with when Vista came out. It allows us to enjoy both worlds happily.
Title: Re: Where to buy Windows XP in Tulsa Post by: sgrizzle on November 04, 2009, 12:48:28 pm I believe his issue was with hardware that only works in XP. compatibility mode and virtual PC's won't help in either case.
Title: Re: Where to buy Windows XP in Tulsa Post by: Nik on November 04, 2009, 01:18:42 pm I think you need either Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate to run the XP Compatibility Mode (I know Home Premium does not have it), and yes, there are some hardware limitations as well.

Yes, sorry you are correct it is Pro or Ultimate.. |
