You can find XP Pro sp3 embedded in 'XP Mode.' See, e.g., Note that when XP Mode is installed in Windows 7 Pro, as intended by Microsoft, it includes a license key and is automatically activated.
Where can I download windows xp professional sp3??? I have a valid key for windows xp professional, but I do not have the files to install xp on a virtual machine. Where can i get an untouched version of windows xp professional sp3? This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread.
It's not clear from these various 'howto' guides, but it's my understanding that the embedded license key will not work when you extract the virtual hard disk from the XP Mode download. A valid retail license key probably will work, although you may have to activate by phone.Other than XP Mode, Microsoft has never made an installer file for Windows XP available for download. When you see links to 'XP Professional Service Pack 3,' thoseWERE links to the file necessary to install the service pack for an already-existing installation of Windows XP Professional.
However, AFAIK, none of the links to Service Packs for Windows XP are still valid.The service packs themselves (SP 2 and SP 3) still can be downloaded from the Microsoft Update Catalog. These service packs canNOT be used to install Windows XP. LemP Volunteer Moderator MS MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) 2006-2009 Microsoft Community Contributor (MCC) 2011-2012.
