Installing windows xp over windows 8.1?

Question

Windows

I can not reinstall the laptop from win8.1 to winxp, both from the BIOS and in the operating system itself (win8.1).
In the case of the BIOS, a blue screen pops up, and if in the system itself, then the "install" item is inactive

Answer 1

But is it necessary to put on a modern laptop, an outdated system that will not understand new equipment and for which there are no drivers?

Answer 2

At a minimum, XP is not friendly with SATA controllers until you put drivers on it. As a maximum, you will also have to look for drivers for the rest of the equipment, it is unlikely that the laptop manufacturer will take care of them.
