It is a 30 day trial. Change the time of the VMware virtual BIOS beyond 30 days and it will expire. Maintain the BIOS time/date within the 30 day window and it'll remain activated. XP mode activates using OEM SLP activation (similar to a Dell XP Pro Reinstallation CD on a Dell PC). For this the generic Dell OEM SLP key is used and the Dell PC has a SLIC 1.0-2.1. XP Mode has its own SLP and SLIC. XP mode has an official activation mechanism on VMware. Add the line xpmode.enabled="True" to the VMware configuration file and it will activate. This adds the SLIC 1.0 required to the VM virtual BIOS, the SLP is included in the XP Mode install. Unfortunately adding this line to the VMware configuration file only works on a Windows 7 Pro/Ultimate or Enterprise Host. Also since the install is OEM, it will only accept OEM keys and not retail keys. OEM keys are non-transferable and you cannot activate by phone at least using only the automated line.
@@royal__twistt12cringealert91 But it's useless. Windows XP mode is about running an incompatible program from the current operating system in today's Windows 10 and 11.
I agree 100%. The title made me think there was some sort of mode in Windows10 that would bring back all the user-friendly features and compatibility of XP, while keeping all the new security features and applications of 10. Virtual machines are slow and incompatible with USB and sound cards; 2 things absolutely necessary for all the applications that I use on XP. Click bait, and I fell for it!
The point is that it's an official Microsoft release, and depending on the wording of the EULA, using it for the explicit use of running applications on newer versions of Windows, this may be legitimately a 100% legal use of this copy of Widows XP. lol Also, it's actually less setup. It's an official "Final" image from Microsoft. 100% patched, no network, installation, or updates required.

I really don't get why Microsoft never released an XP mode for Windows 10/11. Windows XP was the last OS that was able to run all the old legacy software from Windows 3.11 onward so would have made sense to include it within Windows 10/11 just as they did for Windows 7. Anyway, I just use VMWare now to install Windows XP than can run all the old software through that but still I would have preferred an XP Mode for Windows 10/11 instead of needing to mess around.

just come across this and as I have some old games that only run on XP I thought lets give it a try, the download link for Windows XP Mode on Windows 10 is no longer available, anyone got a link for it
Was hoping to see you load some cool games from that era. What GPU acceleration is modelled with this? As for the external CD-ROM pass through I think it is essential as most XP era games use one for installation and copy protection. Sadly most modern cases don’t even give you an external drive bay anymore so you have to use a USB connected one.

Hi, i need to get the integration features, the network drives in windows 10 to be accessible in xpmode without physically joining xpmode to domain. Literally a virtualization of my drives in windows 10. Is it possible in vm ware? I tried in hyperview and vmware but was not successful
I have never used the start menu on Windows 10. I always used Stardock Start 10 if you use Windows 11 you can use Stardock Start 11. It only costs $5. Your machine will look just like Windows 7. I am far more comfortable in a Windows 7 environment, and you can use it on the internet you are still running Windows 10, but better, ( for me)
My computer has a removable bay for the operating system hard drive. I can switch from Windows 10 to Windows XP in about 10 seconds, simply by inserting the required hard drive. One extremely important thing I must do is physically disconnect all my other internal hard drives that are in my computer (there are 4 of them). The reason for this is because Windows 10 and Windows XP index the drives in a different matter. Failure to physically disconnect all my internal drives will result in corrputed hard drives that will no longer function under Windows 10. OUCH!
Microsoft has removed the XP Mode download link because they no longer support it. There are plenty of places to download it. Try a google search for Windows XP Mode Download.

I think I've been clickbaited... From the title, I thought you're going to mod Windows 10 to look like XP. That said, I've actually learnt something new here: Disassembling a Win XP installation executable and turning one of the components into a fully functioning pre-installed virtual disc of the OS is a pretty nifty trick. Never would have thought of that. Great video! :)
It's common knowledge that Windows XP Mode is a legacy compatibility tool and not a theme. If it was a theme, it would be called a 'theme', not a 'mode'. Also, this method of using a pre-made virtual hard drive has been going for years. There's some websites online where instead of downloading a ripped disc image of an operating system, you can download the virtual hard drive that's had the OS pre-installed on it. That way, it can be easier to setup for some people depending on where you are in the process of creating a virtual machine and also you're potentially bypassing the breaking any licensing agreements as you're not providing bought software in its OEM or retail state.

I use Corel Draw and my ancient version which works well under Win7 and Xp refuses to work under Win10 even in compatability mode....arghh.
? Will using this mode will it allow XP to run in tandem with Win10 (i.e. clip sharing between Os)?
At this point, it will be easier to just install from an iso.
But what is the fun in that?
It is cool to see you can still use Windows XD Mode on Windows 10 :)
Is this safe to download
8Gb. for XP? Wasn’t it limited to 4?
Great Video again, is that a 64bit version of XP, if not how does VMware use/handle more memory than the maximum 3.25GB of memory that a standard 32bit XP OS can use? :-)
I think the version is 32 bit
Install a Windows Server 2008 R2 in your VMware. I wanna see how can i set up my server using Virtual Machine because i don't wanna change my OS anymore
Great video. Assume your vmware is paid version. Will the process work with the free version of vmware? Also, the link to XP Mode no longer works.
I have one running in hyperv. Activation failed though.
it dosent work anymore

Its messed up
@@Britec09 more like drunked
IMO.... it takes time for the TH-cam server to synchronize all the ever-changing numbers.... It's just BAU.
any reason for not using the W10 built-in extract utility?
@Britec09 or anyone that can help me:
❓❓ 🤔 Is it possible to create a Virtual Network card (NIC) that will work with your Physical Network card ? I want to create a Windows XP Virtual NIC that will work with my Windows 10 NIC, as I have an old program that installs a network driver to your NIC but it only was designed for Windows XP.
I do not want to have to install Virtual Machine Software to install Windows XP just to do this and use up system resources such as RAM/CPU.
Your help is appreciated. Thanks
I think I've been clickbaited... From the title, I thought you're going to mod Windows 10 to look like XP.
That said, I've actually learnt something new here: Disassembling a Win XP installation executable and turning one of the components into a fully functioning pre-installed virtual disc of the OS is a pretty nifty trick. Never would have thought of that. Great video! :)
It's common knowledge that Windows XP Mode is a legacy compatibility tool and not a theme. If it was a theme, it would be called a 'theme', not a 'mode'. Also, this method of using a pre-made virtual hard drive has been going for years. There's some websites online where instead of downloading a ripped disc image of an operating system, you can download the virtual hard drive that's had the OS pre-installed on it. That way, it can be easier to setup for some people depending on where you are in the process of creating a virtual machine and also you're potentially bypassing the breaking any licensing agreements as you're not providing bought software in its OEM or retail state.
The vmware says it cannot connect to the virtual disk
