Unless you purchase a license (or find an old license key that still works with the old version), the XP version of Bandicam places a noticeable "BANDICAM.COM" watermark at the top of the video. Furthermore, the free version limits recordings to 10 minutes per file. For quick clips, this is fine; for full gameplay sessions, it is restrictive.
Windows XP mainly used 32-bit architecture (x86). You must download the Bandicam 32-bit installer. The 64-bit installer will not run on Windows XP Home or Professional (x86). If you have Windows XP Professional x64 Edition (rare), you can use the 64-bit version, but driver support will be difficult.
The final Build of Bandicam that fully supports Windows XP (including SP2 and SP3) is Bandicam 4.5.4 (Build 1670), released in late 2020. After version 4.5.4, the developers switched to a newer Visual Studio compiler that drops XP compatibility.
