Hyper V Windows XP Need SP3

[gdewar]

Hey there folks, I've been enjoying Windows 10, but I do have some old legacy apps that I wanted to run in an XP Virtual Machine.

I created the virtual machine and installed XP... but now of course I can't find a reputable source for the XP Service Pack 3 anywhere.

I don't need this machine to connect to the internet once it's all set up, so yes, I know it's not supported anymore, but I don't think that would be an issue once it's offline.

Can anyone offer some advice on where to find the service pack?

Can't get more reliable than from MS: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-xp-service-pack-3.aspx

LOL, yeah... I know... that looks really convincing... but every link I find on the Microsoft Site that once lead to a download is now dead. I clicked that same link about three times last night.

This is my favorite place for downloads, very safe: http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/microsoft_windows_xp_service_pack_3.html

Mike, thank you so much!

I've been to that site before once or twice, never thought to look there for this.

You're a lifesaver

You're welcome.
As I said before, my favorite place for SW as it is one of safest places.
