i finally got it to work, had to go into bios and change the HDD emulator to IDE to get XP to work. first time diving into XP, i am 23 and started messing with pc's in the windows 7 days. Thanks for ya help!

hey, i am trying to help an older lady fix her 1995 dell (wxp). i got the system to work(but is almost repulsively slow), but am trying to upgrade her system with an workstation i got from my workplace. the hdd from the 1995 system is IDE, i cloned the drive to a new drive, SATA, but when i plug it into the new work station it blue screens when i try to boot to safe mode or normal. i am assuming it is a cpu driver issue or something else. i dont want to do a fresh install of window 10 for 2 reasons: they wouldn't know how use it, and dont want to lose their files. is there a way to do a fresh install of xp, and then add there users and files as if it was cloned? any insight would be greatly appreciated to me and to her.
