Anyone have any idea where to find an untainted version? I recently used this one to recover an old HP vintage that had a hard drive failure. I scanned it with Sophos and Malwarebytes and it came up clean and has worked without issue for about 4 months now. I will warn you though, when you transfer the iso to a bootable USB, do not change the volume label that Rufus auto generates. If you do, it will not self activate correctly. If you feel uneasy with this, you can still purchase a full retail version here, where they will send you a download link about 10 minutes after purchase.
I may check this out - like I said I have a volume license key for XP but Microsoft removed the download link. They are both 32 bit. It was not even released until April of , pretty close to the end of XP's run. It's a very long and drawn out story that involves servers crashing and being down for a week in the middle of a server migration and some other not pretty and stupid things.
The download above just finished so we'll see if it works. I don't even need it for more than a few hours - I just need XP to convert some things and then I won't even need it any more. But a lot of users are still using Windows XP. It is mainly due to their research work or maybe just for fun.
There are various methods to create a bootable USB. I have discussed all methods here. Follow any of them and move to the installation guide.
NET Framework 2. Yes, but only the old ones. If there are 10 users, all of them need a separate copy of Windows XP. It may be risky now as Microsoft is not releasing the security updates for it. The only guaranteed legal course of action when you need a copy of Windows XP is to actually buy a new copy of Windows XP. It's really that simple. An important downside to a free Windows XP download is that it's too easy for it to include malware or other unwanted software bundled in with the operating system.
On that note, if you manage to get a hold of a Windows XP ISO, it would need valid license information in order to activate, and most OS downloads come with crackers and keygens that attempt to authenticate the software illegally, which you should avoid.
In many ways, what you actually pay for when you legally purchase a copy of Windows XP is the product key sometimes referred to as a CD key or key code, or incorrectly as the serial number.
This unique number is required during an installation of Windows XP. Microsoft isn't on board with that argument, though. At this time, the only legal way of obtaining a Windows XP CD is from a legal purchase of the operating system.
