hi @burjuvanzi and welcome

Yes, but to my knowledge 5.6.3 is the latest Version of Qt that still supports Windows XP. No Idea for Ubuntu 11

TO what you should use, what ever you have more experience in. imho

@burjuvanzi Hi and welcome!

See here: https://wiki.qt.io/PlatformSupport
You can use Qt 5.6 if you develop on Windows 7 or newer and deploy it then to XP.
If you want to use XP to develop and deploy then the newest Qt version you can use is 5.5.
Not sure about Ubuntu 11.04. You can try to install and use latest Qt using online installer. If it does not work try the previous version until you find one which works. I think Qt 5.6 should work.

Hi
Ubuntu 11.04 is better than win xp in terms
of security. Win Xp should not be used any more. (IMHO)

However, if it runs Ubuntu 11, cant you just upgrade it ?
The newer version should also work on the same hardware.

@mrjj ı tried it with ubuntu 16.04. but our hardware gave me a kernel failed. after that ı asked the IEI company which devoloped this pc, they said me you can install ubuntu 11.04

@burjuvanzi Be aware that Ubuntu 11.04 is not supported anymore - you will not even get any security updates.

@burjuvanzi
Up to you, but you could at least try 14.04 or even 12.04 instead of 11.04...
