So I actually didn't inf mod initially, but I did manually install the M2000M drivers, and that worked. Although for this install I went and modified nvdmi.inf and replaced the M1000M listing with the M2200 (iirc nvdmi is the Dell inf?)

Installing XP again, there are a few major devices without drivers. For example the I217-LM in my M4800 has no XP driver, and so does the Intel 7260 WiFi. WiFi should be easy to get working because you can swap it with a XP compatible card, but the wired LAN can't be easily replaced. I210/I211 might work with a driver mod, but I had a modded driver with I217 listed in its inf and it didn't work.

Also if you go too new, you end up with the issue of needing Serial IO drivers for the trackpad, which is a pain on 7 let alone XP.

Edit: Found working I217/I218 drivers. Nothing for I210/I211 though.

Thank you SO much!

It kinda just worked for me, I didn't need to inf mod or anything. I'll do more proper testing soon. I did notice a weird issue running Java, but I'm not sure if that was from transferring the SSD with XP between like 4 different machines before ending up in the laptop.

Hey dude, could you please upload a screenshot from GPU-Z please? I need to know your Quadro M1200 device ID, so I can compare to a DELL Precision 5520 one that a guy is selling around here... if yours matches his, that means I could get a Kaby Lake-based laptop working under XP, instead of a older Skylake one (Precision 7510, Zbook G3, etc)

I have a M4800 upgraded with the M2200, it appeared to work under XP but I didn't get around to testing any 3D applications.

WOW!  I was wondering if Quadros M1200 and M2200 could work with XP a few months ago. Maybe you are the first person to do it!

But as you said, until this momment, it is unknown if them could run any 3D applications under XP, that is why I prefer to stay with M1000M or M2000M just to be sure.

I would suggest getting something Ivy Bridge, 8570W/8770W or M4700/M6700 for better XP/Vista compatibility

Yeah, Ivy Bridge (or Haswell at maximum) is the best option for compatibility reasons, but thanks to Windows XP Integral Edition's Patch Integrator, it can get Windows XP installed in basically any newer hardware (I used it with my Ryzen 5 3600, B550M Pro-DASH and GTX 780 Ti, and it is working very fine ). If one is interested in get Windows XP installed on modern hardware without caring to chipset drivers and all, it is a good option too. That's my case, I only want dGPU working for retro gaming, since newer CPU (even without using Patch Integrator's modified ACPI drivers, so being limited to 1 core usage only as a Standard PC) can perform reasonably well, and because the lack of ACPI in my installation did not influence my GTX 780 Ti performance as well.

Well, it's time to for me to save money for a HP Zbook G3!

Depends on your laptop, if you have the option, go for it. But if it's a Dell it should've automatically disabled it when in XP, because that's what my M4800 did.

It's a HP Zbook 15 G3 I am planning to order, because it does has an option to disable iGPU, and the Quadro M1000M or M2000M that comes with it, is compatible with 368.81 driver perfectly. Precision 7510 is less expensive (circa R$ 1.000,00 less) though, but its Quadro M1000M has device ID 06D9.1028, while DELL'S driver only supports 06E5.1028 SectionID025.

I do not know if it worths the risk, since driver installation could be completly ruined by that damn SectionID... I have checked 372.70 (from Vista driver) and the SectionID between 06D9.1028 and 06E5.1028 differs by 2. I do not know if replacing "06E5.1028" to "06D9.1028" and "SectionID025" to "SectionID023" (or leaving as default) would do the trick...

But anyway, thank you for your reply!

Well, if the other ACPIs you used worked, that means your GPU uses Optimus, which Vista and earlier can't use. Causes the code 10.

Hey man, sorry for bothering you again, but I thought to myself: What if I disable the iGPU (and Switchable Graphics too) from BIOS and use my dGPU as main display for the notebook? Would not Windows XP forced to recognize only my dGPU and let it initialize after install NVIDIA drivers?

It could do the trick, right? Like, look at the attached image, where it says "Switchable Graphics should only be enabled for Windows 7 and later versions"

I doubt you will get a secondary GPU working ACPI or not, but here you go.

Unfortunately, none of them worked on my notebook. I did not even managed to get Windows XP installed with those ACPI files 

Every installation ended up in BSOD before OOBE.

Thank you! I will test them all!

Yes, please PM me those new patched files. I will try them on my machines.

Hi George, do you still have this ACPI 5048 by @pappyN4? Just like as you used to last year, I'm running into trouble to get my secondary GPU (940MX) working under Windows XP. You said that installing this ACPI solved your issue, and then, when ACPI 7777 v4 got released a couple of days later, you also managed to solve it too, as you stated here and here.

Could you please upload ACPI 5048 by @pappyN4 and ACPI 7777 v4 if you still has these files? ACPI 7777 v5 and Dietmar's new one did not work for me and 6666 solved my battery detection issue, but still does not detect my secondary GPU. I tryed to install XP without ACPI, but my 940MX would still not initiate after NVIDIA driver installation, giving me error code 10.
