> Windows XP, unlike 10 or 11 does not phone home. I think you are the one who confused things. I didn't mean not to use Windows XP because Windows XP will phone home, but because that edition of Windows XP comes form an unknow source which might be loaded with malware that might phone home, and plus it's an 20 year old OS so you neve know what security holes it still has which become vulnerable once connected to the internet. I repeat, this is not made for daily driving and putting valuable data on it. It's great for tinkering on VMs and old PCs.
