For PC connection mode you need XP service pack 3 and a recent windows mediaplayer.
For developer mode you need to manually install an inf file. Since apparently I cannot attach it here :(
Open wordpad and copy/paste what is between the lines below and save it as jolla.inf

Plug in the device => choose install from specific location => don't search. I will choose... => network adapters => have disk => chose sailfish.inf => say yes to the warning => continue anyway on the windows logo screen => done
Windows XP is an almost 13 year old OS that is end of life (out of sale for almost 6 years), which means it is not a realistic canidate for support anymore.
