WIIL IT WORK WITH WINDOWS XP? null

Yes, but only if before putting anything on it, you will need to convert the HDD to MBR instead of GPT. The following link will easily explain how to achieve that task. After that, it will be recognized ONLY up to 2TB on windows XP. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2008-R2-and-2008/cc725797(v=ws.11)

WD Quick Formatter has a "Windows XP" compatibility option (which i guessing formats the drive with MBR partitions instead of GPT partitions which aren't compatible win XP 32-Bit, only XP 64-Bit)
