Is it 32 or 64 bit XP?

Did it run before?

I think Vectric no longer supports 32 bit versions of your OS with 11.

Looks like they no longer support XP

The 80's called, they want their operating system back.

Seriously, micro$oft doesn't support it, highly unlikely any software developer would. Why I the world would you want to use an OS that old?

Well, it probably runs pretty darned fast! About 5 years ago I was 'retiring' a couple of old laptops that were occupying space in my closet. On a lark I decided to fire one up, just to see if it still worked. In a flash I had Windows 3.11 up and running, ready to dial out on the 9.6K modem! It wouldn't connect to my WiFi network so I trashed it.

However, even I wouldn't try to run anything later than vintage 2010 SW on XP.

At home I run XP on VirtualBox under macOS just to run VCarve 9.5. It's warping fast compared to the multi-core multi-processor super GPU Windows 10 machine on my desktop at work...

Iona doesn't support my 60 year blender but it works just fine thank you.
