Latest X2** model that fully supports Windows XP

#1 Post by Thinkpaddict » Sat Feb 02, 2013 5:50 pm

Hi,

Is the Thinkpad X200 the last model which fully supports XP? As far as I know, it's the latest X2** series to have shipping configurations with Windows XP, but are any later models fully supported?

I need to run some legacy Windows XP 32 bit applications.

It has been a long time. I miss this forum...

Thanks!

All models, including the X230, fully support XP. Still if only a couple applications require it you might as well just run Win 7 and the XP application in a virtual machine.

Thank you. The reason I need to run XP natively is because of some software that uses the kernel directly.

Are drivers provided directly by Lenovo, or is there any hunting involved?

No hunting involved, and if you use Software Update, you don't even need to visit the drivers page.

That's great news, thanks. I was under the impression that it wouldn't be that easy.
