Windows XP, 64bit with a SSD?

Re: Windows XP, 64bit with a SSD?

Even without compliance requirements, keeping that machine on a regular network segment is asking for trouble from a security perspective. XP is over 20 years old, there is no hardware made in the last five to ten years that will support its install. Modern ciphers are out of the way since you don't have TLS 1.2 support and you're allowing SMB1 as well through this device.

Eh, he's from germany as i am. We do have something thats called DSGVO which is supposed to regulate this stuff but oh well dont get me started no one cares about this stuff until there was a hacking attack. Not even our government officials abide this law at all really.

Oh and btw: There is only one hardware made that would probably support it in some way: The Raspberry PI 4. That shit could actually get the job done the more i think about it although the lifespan in a production-enviroment could be fcked up but if he wants to have something for maybe half a year running on an ssd...

Hans: What I would do is image your current system, go out and get ssd and use it. If it fails, you still have the image. You didn't state the size of the IDE hdd, believe it or not, you still can get new IDE hdd's but they are from discounters like Newegg, etc.

That or often exceedingly expensive.
