So I decided to get my old PC from 2017 out of storage and the thing is a total nugget in this day and age but can it run Windows XP? I want to convert it to a Windows XP PC for older games. asking cos i’m not nerdy enough about PC hardware to know.

It currently has these specs

AMD FX4300 (released in 2012)
8GB RAM (will probably lower it to 4GB since I intend on using XP 32bit)
Nvidia GT1030 (I know this doesn’t support Windows XP but I intend on putting a GTX 750ti in it which does support XP since the 1030 is dead)
ASUS M5A97 r2.0 (which does work with Windows XP)
1TB SATA HDD

Thanks in advance.

i mean it should. I have a 2011 HP Prebuilt and it runs windows XP amazingly. XP sometimes throws a fit with sata drives so you might need to patch them in. there are hundreds of guides and a few prebuilt isos on archive.org (i dont trust then tho)

If the CPU is x86 and from 2002-2012* it will run just fine.

*That time range is just a guess.
