New 2016 motherboard still using Windows XP

[djdan_23]

Hi! all
I have to keep my WIndows XP for some old industrial softwares, but my Asus P8Z77-V pro is aging so I'd like to setup a new one in case of future failure. What do you suggest me for a 2016 very good motherboard, still using XP. And if I can still keep my Intel i5 processor that would be great. Thanks all.

If you aren't overclocking or doing anything unusual with your motherboard, just about any motherboard including generic ones should last 10+ years. If you want your system to last a long time, your best investment would be a high quality power supply since that's usually what fails first and is the most likely to kill other components if/when it does.

At work we are also stuck with Windows XP for several things but for all but one of them, I can use XPMode in Windows 7 without issue. Just perhaps another alternative?

Thanks for the advise but is there any new motherboard that I can use using XP ????

There won't be any more "new motherboards for XP." If you want a "new" motherboard, you will need to buy something old.

For newer CPUs and chipsets, Microsoft is only half-heartedly supporting anything older than Windows 10.
