- This is an updated video on my popular "How To Install Windows XP In Virtual Box" tutorial.
Update October 23, 2022:
There has been an update to virtual box which has changed a few minor things:
First you need to select this ISO image when creating a new virtual machine (In the same Windows where you name your VM) or you can add it later in the virtual machine settings then selecting storage and adding the ISO file to the optical drive.
Also make sure that "Skip Unattended Installation" is checked.

Update April 30, 2023:
There seems to be a new bug where after you install Guest Additons you'll get a black screen. To fix this shut down your VM, open your VM settings, then click on display and set the graphics controller to a different one. Try each one and see if you can get it to work again. You also might want to try turning off 3D Acceleration.

Moreover, you are having trouble downloading Firefox on XP, download it on your host machine and use Shared folders to transfer the installer to your VM. Here is a tutorial I made on shared folders: ua-cam.com/video/FYmck1G0fqY/v-deo.html

Thank you! That was a masterful tutorial. Very clear, no chattering. No bad loud music. Great job!
where did you find the download

@@gmodplayerthatplaysgmod but how can i install the mozilla link on the virtual box? where?

I have been trying to do this for 3 years now, every guide I followed skipped over how to enable virtualization. You helped me do the thing I have been trying to do for Three. Years. Thank you SO MUCH
I could never have done this without your tutorial. I played my favorite game as a kid and got all the nostalgia feelings. Thank you so much!
Do you have to install any graphic driver to run games on a virtual machine? I want to play Heavy Gear.
Pinball 3D?
WARLORDS BATTLECRY!
I love American Conquest. I would definitely do it again!
Imagine if I was born in 2007 then I would have a Windows XP computer for me to have.
Sweet! The serial in the description didn't work for me. I used this one from the comments in the archive site: MRX3F-47B9T-2487J-KWKMF-RPWBY
Thanks,this actually works
Thanks ❤
Thanks that was so hard the first time
Thanks
It DOESN'T works😢
For me, copying the link for Firefox into the VM was of no use, since Internet Explorer wouldn’t load the page anyway. What did work was creating a folder on my Host, in which I put the installer for Firefox and then making it a shared folder to access the file in the VM
Thanks for the tutorial! Now I can play my old childhood computer games. I wasn't sure I'd ever get to play Magic School Bus, Thinking Things, or Roller Coaster Tycoon again. Thank you!
I just used this to set up a VM on my computer and everything worked as you described when the added info is included. I did have a problem with loading Firefox, but your suggestion of a shared directory worked a treat. Thank-you for such a good tutorial.
Great and clear tutorial. Worked flawlessly and easy-to-follow instructions.
Short, concise and to the point. Masterful tutorial!!!!
Thank you. Straightforward and easy to follow instructions, even with the updated VM.
Thank you so much! I wanted to have a Windows XP VM and I finally got it thanks to you!!! :) This is very helpful.
Many thanks for this well designed tutorial! Question: Do I have to install a fresh version of XP from a downloaded install ISO, or can I use an already existing install that has a lot of my software on it? If I have to install fresh, can I simply copy my registry and windows dlls and so forth from my pre-existing install that has so much software on it? Or do I have to reinstall the software and import my files?
Outstanding tutorial - followed it step-by-step and it went flawlessly.
did you download it?
@@didyouseemybag7439 It's been a year, but yeah, just followed his steps and his download links in the description
my xp is aborting do you know why?
Incredibly knowledgeable and we'll-spoken teacher. Nice tutorials comfortableness with the subject makes starting soft real exciting!!
This is the best video on UA-cam regarding this topic and the only one that warns the user about Windows XP!
Thank you for this tutorial. Really good video and easy to follow!
Commenting from the virtual machine! Sweet and simple tutorial ! Subscribed!
wow epic
nice
Everyting works great, had a little problem with a web browser but an additional video about shared folders fixed it. Thanks!
what's the video
Seeing my childhood OS again makes me happy thanks man ❤
HEADS UP for anyone who boots into a black screen after installing guest additions!!
i had this same issue too, the solution i found online that seems to work for me is to change the VGA adapter to VMSVGA. you can do this by closing out of the virtual box (shutting the machine down), and then clicking settings. you then want to click "display," and then next to "graphics controller" is a drop down menu, from which you can select VMSVGA
it started working, but now I am unable to make it full screen. i changed the display settings inside the VM to be close to full screen, but having 1920*1080 would be better. do you know why? thanks in advance
Legend. also to reply to mark try setting the video memory as high as it will go.
@@badbob9nine282 it's working properly now, thanks man!
Thank you bro!
Thank you!
Old Windows XP on my computer!
2007-2022
Best tutorial I've ever seen. Thank you very much.
Thanks so much! Everything, including product key worked!
If it hangs when installing virtualbox guest additions then Disable the Network Adapter in XP and it will go through ok
Thank you so much, fixed the hanging install window.
Thank you so much. It WORKED!!!
About time!
This worked instantly - thank you
Worked! Thanks x 1000!
Awesome video! covers all the steps in a clear and concise manner.
one question: How would I send files from my host OS to the VM? for example to install an old game?
Thanks again for this tutorial!
Go into one of the setting on the top and look for something that says about host to guest.
Go to settings after that I think you click a folder option once you do that click the green plus with a folder on the right and click on your folder you want to share
This tutorial wowed me so much. It's so simple and unbelievably effective. Thank you so much 😀
Thank you so much man! I've always wanted to revisit my childhood OS.
For any one struggling with file sharing or copy and pasting the Firefox link you can just as easily enable drag and drop to move the file after you have extracted it on your host system/
Along with that black screen bug, I couldn't for the life of me get widescreen to work in later VirtualBox versions. Stick to 6.1.32 - It also runs faster from my experience (less choppy mouse movement)
Thank you So Much for the Tutorial! It really helped me alot to go back into the Old Day's Of Windows. I really, really, appreciate the Help you provided in your Video. Just, Thank you so much!
this is awesome and it installed windows xp flawlessly, tysm for this tutorial!
i love windows XP
The firefox link doesn't work anymore
Thank you for this video! Im a 10 year old tech enthusiast, and i wanna experience 2015 childhood, so i wanna just say… Thank You. Just Thank You. You saved my childhood. Youre a legend, bro!
Jeez your 10 and into tech? I was too so thats nice atleast
@@Daedera ay same to im 11 and im trying to do fun things from a while ago like this.
@@Bloxxify1 My god you children wanna experience the tech world. Web design would be fun for you as well.
@@Daedera true, i like tinkering with things such as this.
I’m 13 and basically know every part to a pc and know how to build a CPU And a GPU and ram.
Amazing tutorial! Seriously!
Thanks again.
Bro I just subscribed you come up with every thing that can go wrong like even the Firefox installer it gives me a error that it won't load so you also made a tutorial for shared folders in order to get it fixed thank you so much
I can't seem to download the virtualbox guest additions. The warnings you get never pops up, and it just stops downloading :(
I haven't found a way to download guest additions yet. But you can right click on the desktop, click properties, go to settings and change screen resolution to 1280 by 1024 pixels (1600 by 1200 pixels hides the start button and taskbar for me for some reason). This will make the screen bigger but its still not full screen. However, you can actually go to scale mode by pressing the host key + C (host key is right ctrl if your on windows). That will let you change the screen resolution as much as you want to make it basically full screen. Just go to the corner of the virtual machine and drag until its fills up the screen. But video quality might be lower than usual.
Same here, it wont install
Turn off the network in XP. Go to network then click on your network and disable it. It will finish the install and you can reenable it afterwards.
@@marshiebuns This worked for me, thank you!!!
I would recommend mypal instead of old firefox. Mypal is a browser made for windows xp that still gets updates, it's much faster and much more secure.
To this day?
@@GalaxyGamer-qn1mv i think yes!!!
@@yannisgk where is the download and why didn't howtoguy recommend it
Whatta tutorial man .... Great job , love it
Thanks for the tutorial! Everything you said worked perfectly. Much appreciated!
Somehow it is stuck on the final oracle VM virtualBox Guest Additions "Excecting "C\program files\Oracle\VirtualBox guest additions\BoxDrvInst.exe"" . I already tried restarting and even install another box with windows xp. Any ideas?

Excellent Video. Straight Forward Instructions
12/13/2023
Thanks for your video. The instruction was excellent. Some views I got during the process were different that on your vid, but kept moving ahead.
Your firefox link didn't work in the Virtual XP, but I read a lot of comments and someone mentioned Shared Folders and used that to drag and drop the file. Worked great!
wow, thank you so much, so far no one has been able to make it with network connection, but you are the first, I rate you 100 stars!
Thank you so much for this OUTSTANDING tutorial....I'm sure a fan.
Thank you so much, now to play those old old games from my young childhood and revel in nostalgia.

Thanks dude. I was able to pull my old music off of an ancient 2000s Dell mp3 player thanks to your help.

I HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR 3 MONTHS THANK YOU SO MUCH BRO
Appreciate this video boss! Was fantastic. I did want to ask because I could not find a video. Do you have any guides for getting XP drivers installed and or burnt to an image to mount?
What a great video!! Good job
Such a great tutorial!!👍

the best ever tutorial youtuber so far!
Very good tutorial, thank you.
Thanks for this, I'm wanting to experiment in some homebrew for an old game console but the tools were only compatible with XP
Thanks for the product key!
Do you know where can I download the SATA drivers to install Windows XP on a SATA controller in VirtualBox?
This was very nicely explained! A lot better then then the VM I tried to create of Win 95 wich didn't work properly bc the 40 min tut didn't explain everything good enoug lol!
@4:00 new version of this screen (I assume as it's my first time using linux or virtual box) also lets you choose Processor count. Oracle forums seem to recommend that the default value of one (1) is enough except in some circumstances (I couldn't understand what they were, so I assume they're not for me).
Ah, you already pinned an update! Thanks.
Leaving it at 1 is fine
Hello! I am having problems with the Copy and Paste option that is in Devices. When I go from guest to host, I copy outside the virtual machine and it doesn't appear inside the machine, which doesn't allow me to download FireFox. Although, if I try to put shared files, it doesn't work either. I have tried several times and some possible solutions, but nothing.
Thank you so much man it worked :D
This video deserves more likes! Super good video thanks a lot!

thanks for the tutorial. i want to add something. windows xp takes up 2,5 gigabytes of space. i created vm with 5 gigs, i didint know it would take such a space. so when creating a hard disk people should consider this.
While I was going through set up, I thought and thought about that 10 GB he showed... and I went for 32 GB.
Everything went great until I tried to download Firefox, the bitly isn't working for me. ... hence my reading all the comments in hopes of finding an answer,
help i i still can't Install Firefox 2018 Pls Help i tried the 1ist one and it just doesnt even load as heck and the second one i downloaded the Firefox file but ITS NOT SHOWING IT PLZZZZ HELPPPPPPPPP
how to i move games I downloaded on host machine into the virtual machine/windows xp?
So I can successfully run Windows XP in my virtual box but when I start the machine, the top bar with the "View" and "Devices" buttons is not there. So I cannot put it in full screen mode nor can I input devices. How do I fix this issue? Everything else runs smoothly but that top bar is missing?
After I install the guest additions and fixing the blackscreen, whenever I go fullscreen nothing changes its doesn't match my screen size and resolution.
You're awesome dude. thanks.
Hey, I've got an issue. When the XP setup is running, the pop up windows don't show up. In the bottom left corner xp says "installing devices" and after that the whole wm just stops without an error or something

doesnt work
@@devoeditz1 It will work for sure. Each product key has 25 characters, don't add the dashes, each line contains each product key. Make sure to follow these steps. May be it does not work is because of you're beginner in PC. You know it will take time to step forward in digital world. Also, I'm noob for pros.😜 Sorry for my bad English. Trying to improve

Product key does not work. I tried looking on archive and none of them work. Anyone have a workable key?
Do u have any keys which work? I tried like 200 and they don't work anymore
My attempt stalls, where yours shows it at 7:00. No green dot action in the lower right either. How long does it actually take, and what are your VM settings? Thanks.
Thanks for the video it was very helpful. I did have a question, I have a valid XPSP3 install with a legit Key, the install was fine, but windows want to activate, and I believe the activation servers are no longer online. Is there a way to bypass this activation process?
I've got a device and the drivers for it don't run on my 64bit windows 10 laptop but they will work on a 32bit Windows XP laptop. After doing what's been shown on this video, will that sort the problem?
