OS support means various things, or a combination of those. For example, but not all inclusive, hardware additions or changes that lack driver support for that previous MS OS, newer 3rd party applications that do not work in that MS OS version, MS applications that do not work in that version OS, security updates (applicable) that are not provided for that version MS OS.

Some, or all of such lack of such support in a previous MS OS may suade some individuals to "upgrading" to XP.

There are occasions when moving to a newer PC is the only viable way to make such a change.

And you really think Walmart is selling *just* hard disks with the OS pre-installed which will be slid into hardware-unknown hosts? As to what the OP meant for "disk" was unclear. If "disk" was a Windows installation CD then it looks like the OP will need to upgrade his hardware to meet minimal requirements for the OS.
