due to forum rules it does not come with a key and will need to be purchased yourself

Thank you, RebBeam, I'm glad I asked first. In that case I'd better stick with what I have that came pre-activated on my systems from the company. I have recovery CD's for both computers of mine and its XP Pro that the computers were manufactured with. One thing about linux is that you don't need a key. When the day comes that XP is not longer usable (at all) I'll likely go with Linux Mint.

Most likely this is XP x64 Volume, which only needs a key (no activation). I would put a key here but I don't think I'm supposed to, but Google for "xxxxx xp key" will turn up working ones. If however it's based on XP Pro OEM or XP Pro Retail, you can either convert it to volume (just a few files swapped with those from a volume ISO), or you can use my fork of xxxxx's activator which has support for activating XP (although idk if i'd be allowed to send that here)

You said that this works for modern hardware. Would ethernet drivers and graphics drivers be supported? I’m pretty sure I’d need onecore api and legacy update right? I want to try running Teamfortress 2 online with this custom OS. This is my setup:

CPU
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7500 CPU @ 3.40GHz

Motherboard
HP - 8298

Graphics Card
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti

@RedBeam
After 2 days of use.. everything working perfect. Computer stable as the prevous XMAS edition. More drivers installed by default.
Really good job!!!!!

A question.
In the pics above you are using a Ryzen computer with XP. do you have basic drivers (video/sound) for XP? or thats a virtual machine?

Wanted to intstall alpha xp x64 1.1, but got that error:
"The device associated with following device driver will not work correctly on this computer: ahcix86.sys
The device driver is not compatible with the x64-based version of Windows your computer is running.
This device driver may be required to complete Windows Setup.
Please contact the device manufacter to obtain drivers compatible with the x64-based version of Windows."

Specs:
CPU: r5 5600x
Motherboard: Gigabyte B550M-K ds3h, AM4 socket

May give other specs if that important, any solutions to fix that?

"that's the problem right there is the b550 motherboard the latest board that is even able to run xp is the b450M-A Model"

Actually ty for advice, but ill say that b550m is able to run some xp builds, like OCAPI 4.0.0 XP iso (both x86 and x64) and XP IE
