I mean something even older such as Windows XP (EOL on 2014) where i see some people claim they can't use internet properly due to SSL/TLS problem.

Yeah, Win XP is really old, however this thread suggests that these issues can be solved by installing a custom browser or a new root CA:

Another solution I was able to find is to install an update (KB3055973-v3), which adds support for TLS 128-bit & 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) cipher suites. After that, you should be good to go and no OS update is necessary.
