Can I download opera to a thumb drive with another computer and then install it on the laptop that has xp?
Yes. Download the Opera 36 installer to a thumb drive and run the installer on WinXP. As said though, even when doing that, a lot of sites might not load due to WinXP's networking (and Opera 36 itself) lacking certain security protocol versions and encryption methods that sites now require.
