Unless you're talking about running it on a computer that's not networked, it's already impossible to run XP safely. But Windows is really good about backwards compatibility--what XP software is there that doesn't run on Windows 10?




agreed that most software can be made to run, but not all of them. The other issue is drivers, old drivers won't work on Windows 10 but will on reactOS
