Yes. Do you have the key of the XP install that was originally on the laptop? If not you'll need a key.

I would recommend against installing XP though, as the security updates have stopped, and vulnerabilities that are discovered will no longer be patched.

You should not install or use Windows XP unless you want to be hacked. If you want a similar interface, you might try linux mint. It has a very basic Windows XP like look.

Often if you reinstall using disks from the manufacturer you do not even need to enter a key.
