Install MacOS 10.13+, Leopard, and Win XP on MacBook Pro

Hi,

I have few legacy software that from time to time need to use them. I have removed the optical drive and replaced it with 2 TB internal hard drive as the secondary drive via OWC data doubler. I have 1 TB of SSD on my primary MacIntosh HD.

currently I have Catalina and Win 7 ( bootcamp) on the MBP. How can I Install MacOS 10.13+( high sierra or above), Leopard, and Win XP on MacBook Pro.

I assume I cannot installed OS on my secondary drive.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The first question is: exactly what model/year is the device?

Macs cannot boot from any OS version older than what they came with, so unless it is very old, there is no way to install Leopard (10.5). So you need to figure that out first.

As for Windows, I cannot answer that since I don't run it (and never have).
