Hello all I'm new to the forum, I have recently decided I want to relive some old PC games but I don't like emulation so I want to build some suitable machines starting with an XP machine.
I have a family members old Core 2 Duo dell SFF pc I have done a few upgrades on and was hoping to use as my XP machine, I'm at the point where I need to acquire XP and install it and after some reading online I am very confused on what exactly I need to get.
I don't want to have to connect this pc to the internet at all I was hoping to use my Windows 10 gaming rig to get any drivers etc that I need but I have read Windows XP needs some sort of activation to work but the activation (which I assume I would need a connection to do) no longer works?
I'm really confused as to what I need to get/do please somebody help I want to get XP on this machine and get gaming.
I was planning to try Windows XP SP2 32bit as from my research I think this will give me the best compatibility could somebody advise if this is logical?
