In short: I'm sorry to tell you but, if you don't have an installation disk or an ISO image of Windows XP saved on your computer, getting this - now very old - operating system will not be easy for you. Until a few years ago, this type of image was available directly on the Microsoft website, but now, given the status of XP (now considered obsolete and harmful by the Redmond giant itself), it is no longer possible to download it. If you already have an operating system installation disk, however, you can turn it into an ISO image using ad hoc programs, such as the ones I presented to you in my tutorial on how to create an ISO image.Īnother possible solution, always viable in unofficial ways, is to download a Windows XP image already prepared for use in virtualization software: in practice, it is a virtual hard disk which, once mounted in software such as VirtualBox o VMWare, allows you to run XP directly, without going through the operating system installation procedure. Second, you need to know that Windows XP is an operating system now obsolete and, as a result, it is no longer possible to download its ISO images or purchase its installation CD through official channels. Before getting into the tutorial and explaining yourself how to virtualize Windows XP, it seems only right to make a couple of fundamental premises: first of all, you need to know that to install Windows XP on a virtual machine, you need to get a ISO image of its installation disk or a real one Installation CD of the operating system.
