Windows XP Professional: Windows XP with Service Pack 3 for older software and hardware

Windows XP Professional is the Pro edition of Windows XP and is offered here with Service Pack 3. Today, the system is mainly used to keep running programs and devices for which software and drivers exist only for Windows XP, such as older control, measurement or industry-specific applications, or to provide such a system in a virtual machine that runs separately from the main system. Because of its low hardware requirements, Windows XP can also be installed on very old computers.

Features

System Restore returns the PC to a previously saved state without losing personal files, for example if problems occur after installing a driver. An integrated firewall serves to block unwanted access to the PC from the internet. Windows XP automatically detects connected digital cameras. Windows XP Professional also supports PCs with two processors, which can be relevant for older workstations.
