Not going to get into the technical ups and downs about running JMRI on winXP...? I have run it on an older XP laptop fine... however, it was so slow booting and bringing up the software... not to say any internal processing (which was sluggish by todays standards)...? ? I bit the bullet and am very very happy I did.??
I bought a used HP laptop,, running Windows10... for little over $100? ?it was older generation,,speed and processor.. however it was superfast for booting and running the JMRI software... well worth the $100...? plus most newer DCC gear was very likable to the Windows10 platform....? my suggestion... get a newer Windows10 laptop... even its an older one... it will be much better that the WindowsXP operating system....? ? ? ?just my opinion...? joeg
