If the computer had Windows XP before, I assume you already know about
the availability of drivers for your computer.
Simply install Windows XP normally.
If the computer originally came with Windows XP, follow manufacturers
instructions for reinstalling Windows XP.

"You don't have these problems with Linux!!"
Then perhaps that is the operating system right for you.
Why ask about going to Windows XP if Linux does not have those
problems?
Windows is not the best for everyone like Linux is not the best for
everyone.
