I didn’t think it would be possible, but I have installed Windows XP on a Q85/Haswell PC with genuine drivers from Intel (chipset, graphics, and ethernet). I realise this might be old news to some, but here’s what I’m using:
Chipset:
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/downloa…-Desktop-Boards
Graphics:
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/downloa…s-XP32-Embedded
Ethernet:
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/downloa…erating-Systems
In respect of the graphics and ethernet drivers, Intel warns they are intended for “embedded” systems only. Regardless, they work for me perfectly on my HP ProDesk 600.
There are a couple things I haven’t got working. USB 3.0 (which I don’t care for anyway) and AHCI, which I must get working so I can manually TRIM the SSD hard drive under XP.
I stumbled onto this Forum and found Modded & signed Intel RST Drivers v11.2.0.1006. AWESOME!
Big thank you to Fernando and contributors for your efforts and making these drivers available to us
