You could always try a different route, maybe one of those unofficial Windows 10 PE x64 builds cooked up by the enthusiasts over at Hiren's BootCD
They usually provide their own tool to burn an ISO to a USB Drive, but since that was acting up on my end, I just stuck with Rufus.

Most WiFi USB adapters still play nice with Windows XP, like this one:
TP-Link TL-WN725N

If you're hunting for a browser that actually handles modern sites on Windows XP, you've got a few paths:

You could go with a Firefox-based setup or maybe try Mypal: https://www.mypal-browser.org/

Or just grab one of those Chinese Chrome derivatives:

Personally, I'm running this 360 Extreme Explorer Modified version (which is basically Chrome) alongside the Mypal "Based on Firefox Quantum" beta—though you should probably watch out because on some rigs, it can trigger a sudden BSOD, but my Mypal 68 keeps things steady.

Just a heads up though, even if you get everything running, the real bottleneck is going to be the hardware itself; trying to load modern web pages on an old machine feels like driving a tractor on a highway.

Best,

-I’d steer clear of buying external drives from brands like Western Digital or Toshiba because most of them have the USB connector soldered right onto the drive's circuit board instead of using a standard SATA interface—for instance, those Toshiba Canvio series made in the Philippines, like the UB models (think Toshiba MQ01UBD100 and its relatives), are built that way, whereas the ones manufactured in China are usually fine.

-If you’re a bit clumsy and snap the USB port while plugging it in, you might end up tossing the entire drive in the trash if that connector is hardwired to the electronics, whereas with a Transcend or ADATA drive, you can just pop the casing open and swap the drive into a new enclosure without a hitch.

-It's a much smarter move to go with a Transcend or maybe an ADATA drive, since they actually house a standard SATA hard drive inside; companies like ADATA and Transcend might be using a Samsung, Toshiba, Western Digital, or even a Seagate drive under the hood.

I had that exact same "wait, what?" moment about three months ago when I picked up a new power supply and realized the white wire on the 20-pin connector was totally missing. After doing a little digging, it turns out that missing lead doesn't actually matter for almost any motherboard built in the last decade or so.

You still run into those random off-brand, budget units floating around the market that don't strictly follow the ATX 2.XX specs, and those will often still have that wire. I actually used to run one of those cheap ones—a generic TM-420-PMSR type deal—with a modern motherboard, and since everything worked fine, it’s pretty clear whether that wire is necessary for a PC to boot up or not.

Most modern power supplies don't even carry that specific rail anymore, so you'll be totally fine without that pin. That -5V line was really just a relic from back in the day for motherboards running ISA cards. If you take a quick look up the latest ATX 2.3 specs, you'll see they actually phased out that white wire on the 24-pin connector altogether.

Picked this up a few days ago, and while I'm not totally sure if it outclasses the Corsair cx430, I'm feeling pretty good about it. Even though it’s an OEM bulk version, you can tell the build quality is solid—from the chassis itself (even if it is grey) all the way down to the internal components, soldering, and the PCB. It comes with plenty of cables too, and they're actually long enough to work with.

It’s specifically the SeaSonic SS-400ET unit, revision C1W (so, one of the newer models). Compared to that older A1W revision you see reviewed all over the internet, the main upgrades here are beefier heatsinks and a much cleaner, higher-quality internal layout on the PCB. Plus, it hits that 80plus BRONZE certification.

Here is a quick little test for this specific power supply version from Micro Center: LINK

You can really spot the difference between the A1W and C1W revisions.
The thing runs incredibly quiet.

Tomorrow, when the war began
TOMORROW, WHEN THE WAR BEGAN

You can catch it on FOX this Monday, May 6th at 9:20 PM. 🙂

Just wanted to point out that Americans actually put out a movie with a pretty similar vibe back in 2010: Tomorrow, When the War Began (2010) 🙂
