Unable to install windows xp on my 2015 laptop

I installed windows 7 and 10 but i wanted to try xp, i booted from ventoy and it says uefi not found x64 bootfiles not found. I tried to boot from a non-uefi version, it boots sucessfully then got a bsod it goes 0x0000007B. Legacy support enabled in bios and Secure boot disabled.

 
You can't just walk into a doctor's office and say "it hurts, make it stop". You'll need to give the doctor as much info as possible before he can even begin to diagnose what's ailing you. Otherwise, he'll ignore you and move on to the next patient.

Sorry for late reply.
My laptop was running on windows 10 with UEFI in it, Should i try it on rufus?
Also my pc specs:

GPU: Amd radeon r3
RAM: 16gb
Disk: 480gb SSD

There are 100's of laptop's out there. Are you saying Windows 10 is no longer installed on that SSD? UEFI is a more modern replacement for BIOS. Windows 10 does not have UEFI "in it"..... it just knows how to deal with that firmware version. WinXP does not know what UEFI is, nor does it know about SATA or SSD drives.

The install medium is likely not the problem. Windows 10 created a slightly different version of NTFS on your SSD (along with a hidden partition). You won't be able to see all these partitions with any "Billy Boy" software. Also, if you don't have a partition that XP can work with, designated as Legacy or IDE in your firmware, then XP won't install even if you find the correct drivers that allow XP to detect your SSD. Depending on how old your particular laptop is, there might be other hardware that XP won't know how to deal with unless you have the correct updated drivers as provided by the MB manufacturer.

You still haven't made it clear if you're attempting to create a dual (or multi) boot system, or if you plan to wipe the system and install only WinXP. With newer hardware (and OS's) involved, there are folks here more knowledgeable than I am that will hopefully chime in. In any case, you need to first seek out updated Windows XP drivers specific to your MB (chipset) MFG. Without those, it won't happen unless you install XP as a Virtual Machine under another OS.

On your next post, please specify exactly which laptop / MB you're working with.
