If I could get XP on that machine I would be thrilled.

I run XP on my Desktop and it is rock solid.

The thing is, I don’t have the XP OS disc.

Go to Ebay, that is now a very cheap program to buy. I bought a new HP XMAS and it had windows 8.1 and I updated to 10 but really don’t like it.

I had a Dell desktop in my home office and got rid of it and put my old Acer laptop up there and it was geared to Windows 7 and after putting info back on it and looking at it I can see I would almost rather be running that rather than 10. 7 is so much easier to deal with and I may buy a 7 Professional to load on the new laptop.

Anyway I just checked on Ebay and even Windows 7 programs are cheap now. So I bet that XP is real cheap and you could even use Dell XP software to make it work.
