Hi all. I have a few games that perform better on WinXP than Win7. Compatibility mode WinXP/Run as admin, none of that made any difference. There are also some games which outright don't work, or at least natively, on Win7 like Command & Conquer Generals/Zero Hour. I've already tried using XP mode using Windows Virtual PC. Installed Generals fine but when I click to play it, I get an "insert DVD" error 
. I also tried using VMWare and installed a WinXP virtual machine. It works, yes, but performance is horribly slow. I already gave the virtual machine 4GB of my 16GB RAM, Intel Virtualization tech is enabled, but when I click to run it, I see the splash screen and then it closes again! So VM isn't the solution.
So now, I'd like to revert to the first option I wanted to do. Install WinXP natively onto my HDD but the problem is that my motherboard (ASUS Z87-A) drivers are only compatible with Win7 and up so what can I do to install chipset, SATA and USB3.0 (though this isn't absolutely necessary) drivers for WinXP? Thanks.
