Text Editing - Notepad++ still works on XP without problems. I haven't tested it out for myself, however. Steam - Steam has dropped support for XP, but I've heard rumors it's still possible to use it, or at least an older version. Lots of great games released in that time, so perhaps consider sticking to those. Actually, I'd consider XP's best modern use to be for 2000's era gaming, however. Gaming - Good luck getting modern games to run on XP. The only way to run Discord is the web browser version in MyPal, which works fine.Įmail - You're best off using a web based email client. Although I haven't tested them, I'd assume Netflix and Twitch run fine as well.ĭiscord - unfortunately, the Discord desktop app is not compatible with Windows XP. YouTube - works completely fine on MyPal, assuming your PC is powerful enough to handle it. Also, note that the only web browser extensions you may use are Pale Moon extensions, meaning you may need to find alternatives to extensions you are currently using. I'd recommend you use 2GB of RAM or more if you plan on using the web much. This is especially relevant if you plan to run XP on a low power machine. It takes a bit of configuration to make MyPal look less like Internet Explorer 8 and more like Firefox, but once you have set it up, it's alright looking UI wise, However, speed could be a major issue for some people. First of all, it's based on the less popular Pale Moon browser, which has an outdated UI and is considered slower than most other browsers. While it's great that MyPal exists, it has a few problems. MyPal is a web browser which works on the modern web that runs on Windows XP. Thankfully, we have MyPal, a fork of Pale Moon, which is a fork of Firefox. All major web browsers (Firefox, Chromium, etc.) have long since dropped support for Windows XP.
Web Browsing - obviously the most important use of a computer today.
In this section, I'll go over some of them and comment on how usable they are. Despite its age, there are still a lot of modern computing things which are possible on XP.
