The reason for XP is hardware.   I loved XP mode in W7 since Cannon did not make 64 bit drivers.

My Yamaha SW1000XG would have some life in XP but on a old socket A board.  I had a Tascam PCI 822  that will not work anymore. 

 

I have used a 2nd PC with Windows 7 32bit to use my SW1000XG (MIDI).  CbB is in a Windows 10 PC and it is connected to the SW1000XG via a Roland USB to MIDI adapter.  I use MIDIOX to do the MIDI routing on the Windows 7 PC

I have worked this way since 2015.

Mine wont work because of motherboard chipsets.   It is an expensive paperweight.

The SW1000XG should run fine in Windows 7 32 bit, assuming your motherboard is compatible.  The drivers are similar (and some of them the same) to the DS2416 - I've got two of these in my Asus P8B75-V and they run fine in Windows 7 32 bit.

You are of course limited to a 3rd gen Intel processor,  but I have no issues with my i7-3770 running at 3.4Ghz.

I've got a quad-boot:  2 x Windows 10, Windows 7 64 bit and Windows 7 32 bit.

Windows 11 isn't an option though - the CPU is too old, and the Asus P8B75-V doesn't have TPM (though weirdly the P8B75-M does have a socket for one).

For Windows XP though - if you've had an old MSDN subscription in the past, that key will work forever.
