Need to purchase a Windows XP laptop
I guess it would be a refurbished one, which I have never done. I don't know where to start. I am looking for this to go with my software for my work.

I bought one from ebay. The seller had a long warranty included, I think. Got it about 2 months ago and no one has complained.

Re: Need to purchase a Windows XP laptop
Depending on how computer-savvy you or someone you know is, I would create a Virtual Machine on a newer machine running Windows 10 or 7. It's basically a separate computer in a window on your computer.
We use them at work all the time to test out stuff. You can run any OS you want, and if you crash it or break it, you just click a button and go back to the way it was configured before you broke it.
VMWare is probably the most popular tool for this. Windows 7 has a virtual machine configuration built-in.

From what I am told, using the software I have, this will still not work.
