Hey everyone, I've had this little HP Jornanda 540 Series for quite some time, and besides PLAYING solitaire with it and using it as a calculator here and there, there is not much else I have done with it. I'm planning on buying a CF TYPE 1 to SD card adapter to up the storage in it, and give it some wireless capabilities by putting in a Wi-Fi Attached SD card to transfer files to and from. It's a shame that I have the USB cradle that the thing came with but I run windows 10 at the moment and the software is way too archaic for it. So, my thoughts here are that I would be able to load windows XP onto a USB stick and install it on my little laptop that I have but don't use, and pair it with that. (Toshiba NB505) Before I get ahead of myself, is there anything I am doing wrong or should take into consideration here? Thanks for the help!Active SYNC works on XP just fine.
Used to use that very setup for my Psion 5mx PDA's and a HP Ipaq.
Even got Activesync to talk to the old gal about 2 years ago when I setup a VM XP and dug the 5mx out of storage.Could never get it to work though VirtualBox. Would always freeze up. Got it running fine and working well!I've recently SWITCHED to Microsoft's Hyper-V but haven't needed to try Activesync yet.
The VM at the time I did have it working was either VirtualBox or VMware. (can't remember which as I went through a period of swapping between the two trying to compare)
