Today we are going to share a new OS X Mavericks transformation packwhich can be used in Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 without any problem. Outcome: Mac OS X wins, with XP far, far behind. Hardware Compatibility. This won't be easy. First, let's start with computer system compatibility: Windows XP runs and installs decently on any x86 PC with at least a Pentium and 64 MB of RAM. Mac OS X 10.4 requires a G3 (a G4 is highly recommended) and at least 256 MB of RAM.

First we need to enable sharing for folder on XP computer that contains the files we want to share.

Right-click on the folder and select Properties option from the menu to share and then click on Sharing tab.

If you are sharing the whole drive then you will be asked to understand the risk of sharing complete drive, so click on the link as shown below.

Also check the “Allow network users to change my files” check-box if you want to give permission to other network users to change files. Hit the OK button to save the share settings.

Do you know your PC name or IP? Check you computer name or IP address, because you will use either IP or Computer name on Mac to access shared files of XP computer.

To check computer name Right-click on My Computer icon and select Properties option from menu. Click on “Computer Name” tab, here you can see your PC name as Full computer name.

Click on “Change…” button to give a meaningful name to PC.

Enter a proper computer name in “Computer name” text box that you can remember and type easily. Once done click on OK button to apply and save change. You need to restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

To access PC files on Mac that you shared on Windows XP you need to click on “GO” menu and then select “Connect to Server” option from menu.

On the “Connect to Server” windows type the server address (Your PC name or IP address) after smb://<your computer name or IP address>.
