Want a free Windows XP downloaded from Microsoft? It’s possible using a virtual machine. This article explains how.
Windows XP is old, and Microsoft no longer provides official support for the venerable operating system. But despite the lack of support, Windows XP is still running on 5 percent of all computers around the globe. Why are people still using Windows XP? Mostly due to work, research, or entertainment.
Finding a copy of Windows XP isn’t easy. Finding some hardware to run it on is just as difficult. That’s why the best option is to install Windows XP in a virtual machine so you can keep it on hand at all times. Here’s how you do it!
Microsoft knows that there are good reasons to jump back into Windows XP. That’s why they supply Windows XP Mode, a full version of XP that runs within Windows 7. However, most of us have long since moved on from Windows 7, making this compatibility fix… well, a little unhelpful.
Luckily for you and me, there’s a relatively easy way to take the Windows XP Mode download and load it up in any virtual machine of your choosing. Before we begin, you need a few things:
Head to the Microsoft Windows XP Mode download page. Select Download. On the next page, select WindowsXPMode_en-us.exe, then hit Next. The Windows XP Mode executable will now download.
When it completes, don’t install it yet!
Instead, browse to the executable, then right-click and select 7-Zip > Open archive > cab from the context menu.
This immediately opens the executable in 7-Zip for you to have a poke around. There are three files:
Open Sources to reveal another three files:
Double-click xpm. This is the XP Mode virtual hard drive folder. It should look the same as the image below:
These are the files you need to create the XP Mode virtual hard disk. Unfortunately, they’re Archive files and not executable files, meaning they’re currently Read-only.
You need to extract these files to a new folder.
Select Extract from the toolbar, then press the ellipsis icon next to the address bar. Browse to where you’d like to extract the files—your C: drive is fine—and select Make New Folder. I’ve called my folder “Windows XP Mode,” but the choice is yours. When you’re ready, press OK, then OK again to start the extraction process. This can take a minute or two.
Head to the folder you created when the extraction process completes. You’ll see the same list of files. The difference is that you can now edit these files as you see fit.
Select the file named VirtualXPVHD. Press F2 to rename. Insert a period between the “P” and the “V,” and press Enter. The file should immediately change into a virtual hard disk, and the icon to boot:
Before we completed the XP Mode virtual hard disk extraction, I asked you to download and install VirtualBox. VirtualBox is a free app that allows you to run operating systems in a window.
We’re going to install the Windows XP Mode virtual hard drive in VirtualBox.
When you’re done, your new virtual machine setup should look like this:
Okay? Hit Create.
Before you boot up your shiny new Windows XP virtual machine, you need to tweak a few settings.
On the VirtualBox toolbar, press Settings. Head to System. Look at the Boot Order. Uncheck Floppy, and move it down the list. Promote Hard Disk to the top of the pile. Just like your host PC, the virtual machine has a specific boot order. You need the virtual hard disk at the top of the list, so it boots first:
Liszt standchen imslp. Hearke, hearke, the Larke at Heauns gate ſings,and Phoebus gins arise,His Steeds to water at thoſe Springson chalic'd Floweres that lyes:And winking Mary-buds begin to ope their Golden eyesWith euery thing that pretty is, my Lady sweet ariſe:Ariſe, ariſe.(Shakespeare, First Folio, 1623)For a modern English version of the text, see below.18th century editors tampered with the division of Shakespeare's lines as they stood in the First Folio. (another 'improver' of Shakespeare), added his 'rustick and antequated' rhyming emendations to the new caesuras; thus the 'pretty bin' which found its way into many editions of Shakespeare, and into numerous Schubert editions in English.

Next, check the Windows XP virtual machine network settings. Older versions of VirtualBox required a more manual approach to network configuration. The software is smarter these days (read: automated) and usually picks up your network settings without prompt.
For instance, my Windows XP Mode virtual machine works using the default configuration: using NAT, the VirtualBox-specific adapter, and ensuring Cable Connected is checked.
However, if it doesn’t work (and you’ll realize the good or bad news in a moment when you fire up the virtual machine), you can try an alternative configuration.
Using the Start Menu search bar, type “network,” and select the Network and Sharing Centre. In the left-hand column, select Change adapter settings. Hold CTRL and select both your Ethernet/wireless card and the VirtualBox Host-Only Network. Then, right-click and select Bridge Connection.
“Combining” the adapters creates a network bridge, allowing the virtual machine to connect to a network even though it doesn’t have direct access to the router (or alternative switch):
When you enter the virtual machine, you’ll have to update your network adapter settings:
You extracted the virtual hard disk. You created a virtual machine, fiddled with the settings, and now you’re ready to hit the power switch.
Highlight your Windows XP Mode virtual machine on the main VirtualBox window. Double-click it and wait for Windows XP to burst into life:
Looks like you made it!
There is a strong possibility that your mouse will not immediately work with the Windows XP Mode virtual machine. Navigate the operating system installation pages using the Tab key, arrow keys, Spacebar, and Enter key.
Complete the installation. You’ll arrive at a completely black screen. Don’t worry! Press Right Ctrl + R to restart the virtual machine.
When it reboots, you can Cancel the New Hardware Installation and Microsoft Automatic Update wizards. Instead, head to Devices > Install Guest Additions CD Image. (As per the below image.) Use the default installation location and wait for the setup to complete:
You might encounter warnings that you are attempting to install unsupported software and/or drivers. Select Continue Anyway. Once the Guest Additions installation completes, select Reboot now.
(If it fails to reboot, restart the virtual machine again.)
And there you have it. A working, fully-featured Windows XP installation to call your own.
The Windows XP Mode virtual machine has a temporary license that expires after 30 days.
If you have an old Windows XP licenseEverything You Should Know About Windows Product KeysEverything You Should Know About Windows Product Keys25 characters govern your Windows system. Your product key is worth $100 or more, whether or not you upgraded to Windows 10. We explain what you can and can't do with your Windows license.Read More, dig it out and enter it to try to keep the virtual machine alive. I say “try” because the Windows XP activation servers are long offline, but you can try a phone activation.
If you are feeling devious, you could try the old Windows activation loop, whereby you reset the trial license back to its original 30-day counter. However, I haven’t tried that using the Windows XP Mode virtual machine, so you will have to conduct a private experiment.
But the easier solution is to create a snapshot of the Windows XP Mode virtual machine straight after installation. Then, when the license expires, you can revert to your fresh snapshot (but you’ll lose all the data on the virtual machine, so bear that in mind).
Without snapshots, you’ll have to keep reinstalling the Windows XP Mode virtual machine.

Please help.
I received message:'FATAL: Could not read from the boot medium! System halted '
Also 'You have the Auto capture keyboard option turned on. This will cause the Virtual Machine to automatically capture the keyboard.
Thank you.

This is the first internet procedure that I have ever tried on the internet, that the things mentioned in the article actually existed on the software, and worked. Great job!
Worked on Windows 10.
Thanks man, you made my day.
This is supposed to be easy?
Will this work on Windows 10?
Success. Thanks. Now I have my .VHD and a bunch of other files in C:UsersBillVirtualBox VMsXP Mode. Is it safe to delete the other files?
Thanks guy. I just had to leave a comment. I had only one stupid tank sim game I could not get to work from Win 95. I used your tutorial after going through many othere (just to get the virtual machine installed) I did have to try many times your tutorial- but in the end it worked. I got a version of XP up and running on my Win 10. However I could never get anything copied from my Win 10 and paste it into the virtual XP. Until I just clicked several things like (share this) ect. I knew I had it when I created a blank txt on Win 10 desktop and copied it and (Yes) it pasted into the virtual XP. I then copied the stupid game (IM1A2 ABRAMS) Tank folder install into it and it pasted and it installed and everything. I got just what I hoped. a terrible graphic game that means nothing at all - but at least with your help I can sleep tonite-- thanX
Having trouble connecting it to my CD/DVD drive. I've looked at a couple different sites with explanations, both saying the same thing (virtual box manager -> R click -> settings -> storage -> 'add new CD/DVD') but the option isn't there for me. Wondering if anyone knows a solution to this.
Wow! It worked!
DRP has extra intelligent engine that will match product code with its driver database and automatically show related and supported drivers.Restore Point: Before installing programs and drivers, DRP will create a restore point that will be usable in case of crashing Windows. Driverpack solution 12 offline download free. After identifying, it shows all of them in list to keep them up to date.Missing Drivers: Unidentified or missing drivers were creating high difficulty for user especially to find exact matching drivers.
Thanks!
I get to the part where you start the machine and then it just goes in to a loop and restarts over and over again. It never reaches the blue screen in step 4. There's a popup for a second that says something about a password and then it just restarts.
Will this be breaching the EULA in the installation for not having Windows 7 Pro, Ultimate or Enterprise; I'm running Windows 10 Pro which would be equivalent to Win7 Pro or Ultimate
Hi, I got stuck at step 3 - I don't see a virtual box host only network under Network Connections. Where am I going wrong?
Thanks
Re XP license - you can do better than re-looping 30 days or snapshot.
Go to regedit and set as OEM by:
(If you can't get into XP because of the activation issue, restart in safe mode (f8 on startup))
1.Click on the Start button in Windows
2. Now open the Run dialogue box
3. Type “Regedit” and hit Enter
4. Once the registry editor pops up, expand the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE entry
5. Open SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows NT > CurrentVersion > WPAEvents located under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
6. Once you’ve opened the WPAEvents registry entry, you will see the OOBETimer in the right panel
7. Double-click OOBETimer to change its value
8. Highlight all values and delete them
9. Enter the new value:
FF D5 71 D6 8B 6A 8D 6F D5 33 93 FD
10. Click OK
11. Now right-click on WPAEvents and click on Permissions
12. Once the Permissions window appears, click on the SYSTEM tab and click “Deny Full Control“
13. Now click OK, followed by YES on the next screen, and exit the registry editor
14. Restart
You will likely be told you need to activate, but when you try (via telephone option) it will tell you its already activated - you'll then be stuck in a loop. To avoid this, restart in safe mode (f8 on startup) and then once in XP follow the below:
1. Click on the Start button in Windows
2. Now open the Run dialogue box
3. Type rundll32.exe syssetup,SetupOobeBnk and click OK
4. Restart
Should be all good now.
How do you undo all the operations? I think a lot of files are still leftover even after I remove the Windows XP virtual machine in VirtualBox.
I can't connect to the internet. When I followed to TCP/IP step on my VM I get this message: The static IP address that was just configured is already in us on the network. Please reconfigure a different IP address.
already in 'use' on the network
Do you leave the Optical Drive empty??
You didn't mention .iso or optical drive once in this article.
No. You convert the virtual hard drive. There is no iso or optical drive.
XP? I've legal copies of operating systems back to and including Windows 95. One laptop with XP. Which most software still supports. Windows XP? Because AMD bought ATI and they and Windows 7 dropped support for my 4 ATI TV Tuners. Which can be used to record outside audio or video. Such as cassette tapes and VCR tapes. And convert to other file formats. So XP is still useful here.
