Why do I keep on getting this blue screen error

[legendarydarkmafia]

So I'm trying to install a fresh copy of windows XP to my HP Laptop, the type of laptop is HP R205TU with Intel N2840 Celeron Processor and it seems like it won't start windows :/

My first question would be to identify all the hardware components to see if windows XP even supports this PC that seemingly everyone sells with FreeDos installed on it... do you have a copy of windows 7 and see if it will install, if it does over XP probably the BSOD are caused by incompatible hardware

Hmm, the original OS was Windows 7 if I'm not mistaken before I upgraded to windows 10 , since I swap HDD's, I have to install a fresh copy of windows. In the BIOS settings, there's this thing called Legacy which will enable the compability mode for Windows XP, Vista etc. I just don't get why won't legacy work. I also have slipstreamed the OS with Intel Raid.

I would wonder why someone wants to install XP.

Do the other operating systems install without problems?
Where did you get the media for installing XP from?

Well it's most probably because it's the only windows CD I have. On this HDD, Windows 7 was installed on previously on a Lenovo laptop, but when the Levono Laptop changed to SSD, this HDD had it's OS Removed I think, or formatted. That HP Laptop originally used windows 7 or 8.1 , and the HDD died, I used SSD (Yes SSD on both laptops) in the SSD Windows 10 was installed. Then I decided that my SSD Was too small since it's only 120GB so I swapped with a previously used HDD.

you could just reinstall windows 10 on it again using the thumb drive option by downloading this link from Microsoft.
if you have a outlook account (if you dont make one) you could recover your settings and have it registered automatically.

Whatever Windows came preinstalled, HP must have put a sticker at the bottom of your laptop. If it's Windows 7, the key on the sticker can be used to download the right installation media from Microsoft.

If you want to use Windows 10, you can simply download the installation media without using a key as your hardware has been registered by Microsoft. Your hardware is your activation key, meaning that you can install Windows 10 without entering a key. If the motherboard, and possibly the CPU, is replaced then your activation key becomes invalid and you have to phone Microsoft for activation. Microsoft will only grand this if you had to replace the motherboard due to a malfunction.

Regarding Windows 7, in the motherboard the BIOS has a SLIC table that is used for activation, this is only for pre-installed systems. At the first reboot after installing Windows 7, Windows compares a few things against the SLIC table to see if it's all valid. If it's all valid your system is activated and no activation key has to be entered.
