Don't see a need, basically. What games require XP though? So far all my old games still work on 10.

XP was the last Windows OS that supported 16 bit code if I recall correctly, so there's that. Although most games that needed that are better off with something like DOSbox.

Ah yes, I suppose there's that, and I've been running the really old games on Dosbox too.
