We can install Arduino IDE 1.8.19 on XP, but when plugging in XIAO, XP complained about missing driver. Thanks for pointers in advance!
Hello, I don't use this board, but I found these options that might help you with something:
- Platform-specific use of USB protocol stack
- Use a serial port (or USB converter)
- Install an alternative IDE, just to install the driver automatically.
Here are the comments:
Unlike the Arduino Uno and Arduino Nano, the Seeeduino XIAO onboard USB is not supported by the common USB-to-serial chip. These chips are usually FT232, CP2102, CH340, and etc. The main chip ATSAMD21 of Seeeduino XIAO is natively supporting the USB protocol stack. This feature means that the USB function can be changed by the code.
For ATSAMD21 based development board like Seeeduino XIAO, we can use this Arduino TinyUSB library by Adafruit

Seeeduino XIAO is the smallest Arduino compatible board in Seeeduino Family. It is an Arduino microcontroller that is embedded with the SAMD21 microchip

When the Xplained Pro MCU kit is connected to your computer for the first time, the operating system will perform a driver software installation. The driver file supports both 32- and 64-bit versions of Microsoft®Windows® XP, Windows Vista®, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, and Windows Server 2012.
Thanks for your help! Unfortunately, atmel studio needs extra package from Microsoft that is no longer available in the hard link imbedded in the installation, so it won't install. Even if it installs, I got a feeling its INF file would not cover XIAO's PID and VID
