Won't do it..can't boot it up from the bios..have never been able to

1. If the system had Win 10, it may not be compatible with XP.

Or may require XP 64 bit. XP is an 18 year old OS at this time.

Regardless, if you're gonna downgrade, go with Windows 7.

3. You probably

have to go to bios and set it for legacy OS. It really isn't "bios" anymore.

Hey, you probably don't want windows xp on it because they won't support that with security updates or anything.

Listen, try downloading xubuntu or lubuntu. Look at xubuntu.org it would be a lot easier and you would be happier.

4. XP is unsupported a of 4 yrs ago, meaning MS won't have anything to do with it.

Time to move on to win10 (which is a very good OS). If you're having trouble running legacy programs on XP, you can set the executable of the program to be compatible with winXP thru windows compatibility tool. Good luck!

5. Probably

No XP drivers for your newer hardware...Go with the Linux option

6. Try Fedora Linux. (See link below)
