I'm so old I Remember when:

Most XP installs will be 32 bit as 64 bit XP wasn't common at all.

Most of the scam programs wouldn't install themselves on the 64 bit versions.

How old is it? If it's got a i7 you should be able to put modern Linux or Windows 10 on it. Still use a i7 930 here

Nothing is wrong with it . It works flawlessly. I would not even put windows 10 in my enemies pc.lol. That would be cruel and unusual punishment lol. Our XP has one purpose. Video and audio editing and manipulation. I was only showing that there are still some folks out there who still use XP. Anything I use for surfing the internet is a modern OS, something I don't worry about getting compromised or hijacked.

Even iTunes wouldn't work on XP 64 bit.

Just wait until you try Windows 11. 10 will feel fantastic after that torture.

XP is still really nice for offline stuff.

What browser do you use on it?

What are the specs on it?

I agree with Windows being really bad now. It started syncing to OneDrive and then proceeded to whine about being out of my free 5GB of storage.

Linux is great if you want something reliable. I use Kubuntu, but Linux Mint is used on practically every other computer my family uses.

Looked it up and latest will only run on Windows 10 or newer, supposedly.

I have used Supermium on Windows XP and it works fine provided you've got enough power for it. I don't recommend using XP online at all.
