WINDOWS XP FOR VIRTUALBOX ISO UPGRADE
What I need to buy is something like "Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Upgrade - Old Version", NOT a "Windows XP Recovery Boot Disc Disk CD", right? Either way, I need to buy a new, unopened installation disc (because a used installation CD's registration code is no longer valid), right? If it's truly illegal to give links for downloading an ISO File for an OS that isn't even supported anymore, at least answer me this: AND, NOBODY has answered whether I still need to have a registration key for a downloaded ISO version of the OS disc.
WINDOWS XP FOR VIRTUALBOX ISO INSTALL
You must have the official install media or an ISO version of the install media.If you want to install Windows you also need the product key for the OS.Īnd what NOBODY has told me is a link where I can download my ISO file. You cannot download Windows XP from Microsoft (even with a paid subscription) because it is no longer a supported OS.īillG wrote:As several people have already told you, installing a OS into a vm is basically the same as installing one in a physical machine. Be vary careful if you try the online option. You obtain the OS from a computer store or buy it online. If you want to install Windows you also need the product key for the OS. If you have the ISO version, you assign the ISO file to the CD drive in the vm from Settings. If you have the CD/DVD, you set the CD drive in the vm to read from the physical CD drive in the host machine (from Settings in the VirtualBox Manager window) and insert the disk into the drive in the host machine. You must have the official install media or an ISO version of the install media. You were probably looking at a Service Pack download.Īs several people have already told you, installing a OS into a vm is basically the same as installing one in a physical machine. An operating system is not available from there. If you see the message "the file you are trying to download is available from Windows update" you are looking in the wrong place.
