Does Windows XP support USB 3.0?

[vijay_001]

I am planning to buy a new (low end) laptop (with Celeron or Pentium processor).

But I see that these new laptops are equipped with USB 3.0 along with 2.0.

Just wanted to know if I will be able to install XP or not because I love Windows XP.

Here is the link to product - http://www.snapdeal.com/product/acer-aspire-e5532-notebook-nxmyvsi013/672006459995

Will I be able to install Windows Xp in it? If I do, then will the USB 3.0 ports in the laptop work?

Intel can explain it to you-

Some laptops have a USB 3.0 driver available for windows XP you would need to look on the support page for the laptop. That said, a new laptop would likely NOT have that driver as XP is a dead system.

I understand you like XP but using it on a new laptop connected to the internet is a really bad idea. Its wide open to malware and hasn't been updated for a long time. On top of that other hardware such as your sound device or even video card may not work or have a driver for XP (so it will only work in legacy base driver mode). This will hamper performance considerably.
