    Can't Install WinXP on New PC

    I install WinXP on my USB Device but when I boot to the boot menu, it won’t show the USB I have XP on. How do I fix this?

    Windows XP is not designed to run off a USB drive.

      I mean, I put the ISO on my USB. But when I tried to boot the installer, my PC won’t show the USB the ISO is on. How do I fix that?

        If you guys can help me get my PC to detect the USB the ISO is on I’d greatly appreciate it. I’m wanting to experiment with WinXP.

          It’s much faster to do it from my PC instead of a Virtual Machine. Virtual Machines are so slow.

              It originally came w/ Windows 11 but I installed Linux on it. I’m wanting to try to install WinXP to experiment with it.

                Considering that Windows XP has not security protection and has not been maintained in several years.

                No drivers would be available for and or the system may not even boot.
