The thread discusses an old Acer computer running Windows XP for specialized tasks like telescope mirror analysis with FigureXP. The original poster wants to avoid Windows 10 and is concerned about the 90-day trial period and registration issues. A respondent warns that bypassing registration is illegal, suggests the device may lack network hardware, and notes that Windows 10 might still support this hardware.

I have an old Acer computer that I would like to run for 5 different things in Windows XP. My biggest interest is shown in the image. It's a telescope mirror analysis program which is called FigureXP. I have an XP install disk on the way. Most of the time the computer will not be on and I can import programs from disks I have. The big question is how to get around the dial up registration. I didn't want it shut down after 90 days. Any suggestions (except windows 10) would be appreciated. Thank you
P.S. Not going to browse with this boat anchor

You cant get past the registration its illegal. I assume its does not have a WiFi card or Ethernet port? An old Acer computer is not much to go on for support. BTW its seems to work on windows 10.
