    Hi,
    Can I install the XP system on the CF-53 MK4?
    If yes, what should I do?

    Regards.

    Probably can, but drivers are going to be a real problem to find.

    Better to run a virtual machine with XP under Windows 7 or 10.

    Why XP?

    Driver's might be a pain but they have a Mk2 driver bundle so why not. It should work ok on the Mk4, maybe not perfect. :D

    Go to panasonic and download the driver bundle for the CF_53Mk2 XP. Right click, run as admin and I'm betting it will work.
