I' m building a PC with a Gigabyte H81 and i3 4130. I have an "old" HDD with Windows XP.
If I put the HDD in the new PC, will Windows XP boot? I dont need any other drivers like Intel HD Graphics or Intel HD Sound, I only need to make it boot and work like normally. Will WinXP boot? I will need to change the HDD to IDE or not? Anything more?

Thanks in advance!

If it worked with the Windows 7. The. It should work for XP but don't forget than Microsoft doesn't have any XP support anymore. ;)

It's not about the activation (which, for the moment, I don't care).
I build 2 days ago another computer which had a Windows 7 installation. I put the same HDD with Windows 7 in the new PC (exactly the same, with H81 and i3 4130) and It booted correctly without any problem.
But I'm asking if it's the same with Windows XP.

I don't care about support xD I only need to boot and do "basic things" like internet and other programs (Not games, videos or anything...).

Thanks for your help!
