The laptop's processor doesn't support 64bit operations, otherwise I already would've had it installed.

I enjoy Windows 7 the most, to be honest, but I caved / conformed and on my newer laptop's I installed Windows 10.

The thing that excites me the most about XP is the exploitability. 70-80% (Completely made-up number, no facts to prove it) of Windows exploits  can be used on Windows XP. It's just fun to bootup a VM and fuck shit up.

Fair enough with your CPU not supporting the 64 bit architecture. My offer of XP was/Is there In case of need.

Every OS Is exploitable, some more so than others. For testing and customization purposes, I also ran XP on a VM , namely Virtual PC 2007 back then. Nowadays, given my CPU well and truly supports SLAT (Second Level Address Translation) Inclusive of the edition of Windows, I use the native VM being Hyper-V and VMware Workstation on other lappies.

On your Windows 10 machines, what specs are they running?

One laptop doesn't work, but my main laptop just has a AMD A8 APU. Came with windows 8, so, mostly modern but not "the latest and greatest." Nothing to brag about but I got it for free.

WindowsXP is known for being the worst of the bunch when it comes to exploitability, that's all I meant.
