Is it possible to install Microsoft Security Essentials on a weak windows xp laptop?

Question

Windows

There is an old laptop. I installed fedora xfce, everything was fine, but they asked me to return xp. I'm not strong in Windows, can I still install an antivirus from microsoft? If not, what can be plugged into a 2008 machine, celeron, 512 RAM.

Answer 1

You can stick it in, but only from experience, there has been no sense from it in recent years. Better then Avast, well, or whatever you like best from free ones.
