Windows XP Tablet PC Edition on a touchscreen MacBook
YouTube channel Michael MJD managed to install Windows XP on a 2011 MacBook with touchscreen. The YouTuber installed Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, which debuted in 2005, on the MacBook and covered all the details in a 36-minute video.
In the video, he admitted that he had many problems. These included corruption of Windows XP’s driver and license files. However, the touchscreen was automatically detected during the Windows XP installation, even though it was not calibrated.
He was able to use touch input on the MacBook screen, even though the driver installations were not done correctly. He used features like handwriting recognition and a digital notepad on the MacBook. He also installed a classic game to test touch gameplay.
It’s also worth noting that MacBook models don’t officially have a touchscreen. The computer used by the YouTuber is a customized model to perform different functions.
On the other hand, even though it is no longer supported, Windows XP was one of the first operating systems to enter this market with Tablet PC Edition. However, with Microsoft’s lack of support, it failed to grow into the tablet world.
On the Apple side, the footsteps of macOS 15 Sequoia have begun to be heard. Finally, the company opened macOS 14.6 beta 1 to developers.
