Another OPPO 205 Question

I am having a problem streaming to OPPO 205 via Windows XP. Windows 7 seems to work fine but OPPO won't recognize my XP computer via usb. OPPO has driver on website for windows 7 but nothing for XP. I was wondering if anyone out there has had luck streaming to the OPPO 205 via windows XP and if so How did you do it. I inquired OPPO and response was try the windows 7 driver but that didn't seem to work out for me at least.
Thanks

OP,
Not sure why you did not migrate over to Win7/8/10. With the XP you are inviting trouble over the net. Especially because the support is gone and any loopholes that it might have is an invitation for malware into your system.
I am not sure why @mental indicates that Win10 sucks. It is the best Windows version in recent years.

I have an XP with a lot of music stored and just never upgraded. It works fine into my AYON directly via usb but was looking to go thru the OPPO. I usually do not connect to internet so never had a problem with malware etc. 
Looks like I need to upgrade

Thanks

Can you just transfer the music files on the XP to a separate HD? HDs are cheap, and the 205 should be able to read an attached HD  (my 105 does).
How many files is it?  I think my old XP hard drive topped out at 100GB

mahler: Good suggestion which I will do and mental thanks for the tip on using solid state and NTFS format.

Thanks
