Yes, you will have to own the Windows XP program. You can either format the hard drive and then install Windows XP along with all the other software that you need, or you can create a partition on your hard drive for Windows XP and do a dual-boot where on start-up you choose which operating system to run.

Yes, you’ll need an xp disc which you put in the laptop and restart it. On startup, you will be given an option that says “to boot from cd, press any key…” which you should do. Bare in mind there’s a good chance you’re gonna wipe everything off so make sure you have everything backed up
