It's a longshot, but it might be possible to do a fresh install of Xp sp3 on something a bit newer.
That might be so. I did buy a new copy of xp with sp3 marked as 'refurbish" and came with the new license for it.
Unfortunately all the junk laptops I have either I don't have the power supply or the cd/dvd player doesn't work.
I may fire up an old window 10 tower I have and attempt to copy xd sp3 refurb disk on to a thumb drive and see it that would work.
It's been a few years since I've done this type of work and a real long time since dealing with xp which I never liked.
Thank you for the input. 73, Mike
