I want to install winxp alongside with win10 on my Lenovo Ideapad 300. But when I boot from cd or usb it wont proceed the installation and stuck with blue screen. Then I opened the setup file but "Install Windows XP" is not clickable and its gray. Tried both 32bit and 64bit but result is same.

Please help me
Are you disabling UEFI and Secure Boot in BIOS?
If your going to dual boot a OS with another OS, they both need to be the same system type:

Example

Windows 10 x64 dual boot with Windows XP x64 (64bit dual boot with 64bit)
Windows 10 x86 dual boot with Windows XP X86 (32bit dual boot with 32 bit)  

In windows 10, what system type does it say in system under system security, see image below:
