Does Windows XP work on Windows 7?

Answer 1

Most XP drivers from what I've seen so far work great in Windows 7. XP drivers for the most part work much better in Windows 7 than under Vista. Oddly, even older signed XP drivers work fine in Windows 7 without driver signing warnings.

Answer 2

If you mean will XP work on a 7 compatible computer, the answer is most often yes.

If you mean can a XP program run on Windows 7, then mostly but occasionally not. In this case you can run in compatibility mode. If this doesn't work then you could dual boot XP on your computer.

If you mean something else, edit your question.

Answer 3

In what regard? I assume you mean in a network?

At home we have a Vista 64bit, XP SP2 and brand new Windows 7 system running on one wireless network. No issues with sharing of files, LAN gaming, ... everything runs smoothly.

However, we noticed that you achieve the best results when setting up the network on the Vista machine. Probably because it's in between of XP and 7.

But as far as I can answer your question, yes they are compatible.

Answer 4
