    How many 2009 MBP drivers for XP would work on an Early 2011 13"?

    I know there are just general drivers for the Broadcom card and the iGPU obviously, but I'm wondering how many old BootCamp drivers from the 2009s actually work with the 2011 hardware.

    What's the last year of MacBook Pros with native XP drivers, or at least enough to be usable?

    I have an Early 2011 13" MBP. Last of the Snow Leopard era, and technically last that can run a BootCamp version capable of running XP. What I'm wondering is if the cutoff is the 2009s, 2010s, or 2011s.

    MacOS Sonoma tribute to Windows XP?

    Have any of you realized that the Windows XP hill (the bliss wallpaper) was shot in Sonoma, California, the same place MacOS Sonoma was named after? Was this purposeful? Maybe Apple is making a tribute to Windows XP? Or possibly their “Get a Mac” ad campaign, which started when XP was still the...

    Full screen XP on bootcamp. (Cinema Display)

    Does anyone know how to get XP running in full screen when hooked up to a monitor under boot camp? I have fiddled about in the graphics settings and I can't seem to get it go full screen. The 2007 MacBook is, (I presume), more than capable of running Windows XP, so it shouldn't be a hardware...

    MP 1,1-5,1 Working graphics driver for MP 2,1 on bootcamp Windows XP with Radeon HD 5870/5770?

    MacBook Pro Only Boots UEFI Volumes—No Legacy Mode

    Hey everyone, this is my first post on the forums. Since Saturday, I've been fiddling with a Late 2008 MacBook Pro (15"). For whatever reason, it just does not want Windows installed on it. I've tried about 5 different Windows XP ISOs (booting from both CDs and flash drives) and none of them are...

    XP Boot Camp not useing 4gbs of ram

    I missed the days of XP so for a bit fun I installed XP Media Center Edition 2005 on my mid 2009 17in Macbook Pro 3.06ghz 8GB. First off I am aware that 32bit systems only can access 4gbs as a max. I always used x64 systems (even back in the day XP x64 Edition) so when it comes to x86 I'm not...
