Questions about installing XP on hard drives, can t you install XP on SSDs?

Tested on April 5, 2014 (the system was installed in December 2013 and no SE was performed).

May 4, 2014 (post-TRIM testing with Solid State Doctor software).

I've run this software on my M4 64G SSD with XP installed, and the performance has really improved, but the computer is not with me, and I can't provide test charts.

Of course. SSDs are not directly related to XP, as long as the SSD is 4K aligned and the AHCI driver is loaded when installing XP, the SSD can still perform as well as it should under XP.

No.

Because XP does not support trim, the life of the hard disk will be drastically shortened and the performance will be drastically reduced.

It can be used, but the hard disk breaks fast.

This is not a question of whether it can be installed or not.,There's definitely no problem with installation.,It's just that it works better under win7.。

The reason why it can't is simple, the XP system does not have optimized support for SSDs and is not suitable for installation.

As long as it's a hard disk and it's not broken, of course you can install the system.

It can be installed, and the software is not divided into solid-state machinery.

Yes, you need to do optimization, if you don't optimize the processing may not be able to fully play the performance of the SSD hard disk, the SSD hard disk is a data chip storage device, different from the disk sectors used by the mechanical hard disk, so the file system requirements for the storage device are relatively high, there is an advanced formatting function in the win7 system, but there is no in XP. It is recommended to use win7 system. At the same time, XP does not support the concept of 4K sectors.

Although it will not produce the problem of system instability, it will lead to low performance of the SSD, and at the same time, the disk operation ability of XP is effective, which is easy to cause a large number of junk files to be written, affecting the service life of the SSD, it is recommended to replace the Windows 7 system, and the Windows 7 system basically has no compatibility problem.

To install Windows 7, just like XP, first make sure that all parts are installed correctly, the machine can boot normally, and the optical drive and hard disk can be recognized in the BIOS. Then select the optical drive to boot, the setting interface of each BIOS is not the same, again do not list them one by one, there is a detailed explanation in the motherboard manual. Then it's just a matter of putting in the installation disc and following the steps to complete it.

1. The method of entering the BIOS is also different according to the type of BIOS, the most commonly used is to press and hold the "DEL" key until the BIOS is entered, and the interface is mostly as shown below

Move the cursor key to make a selection, then press enter to confirm with the disc. Start reading the disk.

Second, and then it is a long fool installation can, the next win7 system as an example, the installation process is simple, the length is too lengthy to read, please click the link for details, you can read all the steps in detail.

Load the Windows 7 installer.

Please click here for the intermediate process.

The installation is complete. View the desktop.

The whole installation is more intelligent and foolish, as long as you follow the reference steps, of course, the activation of pirated systems is a problem.

Hope the above information is helpful to you.

Absolutely, that's how I pretended.

Need to do optimization processing, if the fragment is not optimized, it may not be able to fully play the performance of the SSD hard disk, the SSD hard disk is a data chip storage device, different from the disk sector used by the mechanical hard disk, so the file system requirements for the storage device are relatively high, there is an advanced formatting function in the Win7 system, but there is no in XP.

Although it will not cause the problem of system instability, it will lead to low performance of the SSD, and the disk operation ability of XP is effective, which is easy to cause a large number of junk files to be written, affecting the service life of the SSD, and it is recommended to replace Windows

System 7, Windows

7. The system has basically been flushed with reputation, and there is no compatibility problem.

Install Windows

7 system and XP the same, before installing win7 system, you need to turn on ahci mode, check whether you can use AS to enable ahci mode

SSDBale (Solid State Drive Testing Software) to test it out, it can show if AHCI is turned on, and it can also show if 4K is aligned.
