Does Driver Fetch work in Windows XP 64bit/Windows server 2003?

0

Driver Fetch is capable of scanning and attempting to find drivers for this operating system but because of the very narrow scope of hardware that can run this old operating system the results may not be perfect. Unfortunately the 64bit version of Windows XP is the least well supported operating system released in the last 10 years. There’s actually a really simple explanation as to why this is: when XP was in its prime 64 bit chips were far more rare than they are now and the consumer market wasn’t interested in 64 bit operating systems. As a consequence many popular software programs were never released with XP64 versions and most hardware companies never bothered writing drivers for their computers to use that OS. This vicious cycle of unpopularity has resulted in an operating system that is very very picky about the hardware with which it will operate.
