Windows XP still supported with latest version?

[buckman]

Just a quick question, as I know its still stated in the latest downloads..

I may have a 'tape recorder' PC (offline to the web) that just installs Reaper (latest) on Windows XP.

Is everything working the same as it would on say, Windows 10?

Thanks!

That'll be 'a thing' in 20 years.

I use my XP PC as a tape recorder, also. I really like the PCI slot that has my Lynx 2C sound card with 6 converters in it. So, it is really true- I do love the sound of my XP rig. Warm? Only if I toast the tubes in the preamps! Clear & precise? Yes.

My DAW -

ASUS P4PE Mobo, Intel 2.8P4, WIN XP with Reaper, 2 Yamaha DS2416s, 1 SW1000xg, 1 ECHO Mia.

Three more of the same.

Various outboard synths.

Some (very very very few)softsynths.

100+ tracks of audio, CPU usage 35-47%

Time spent on recording and all other things musical - 96%

Time spent on FU%^&ING around with my computer (mostly elective, other than solving some few Reaper issues)- 2%

Time spent on Reaper forum 0.5%

Time spent on drinking beer, etc. - 1.5%

You can parallelize those activities to gain some spare time. Also gives nice, loose feeling in your tracks.

Could I just ask, what total RAM are you using to get these figures?
As I am about to do the same with a Windows 10 Laptop and 4GB RAM on an older machine to see how it stacks up
