Microsoft has not supplied XP ISO downloads for years.

And we know of no official or reliable XP download sites.

The worry is any download may have malware bundled with it.

Cheers.

    Also support for XP ended in 2014.

    And if by some chance you do find XP and a license to install it as it does not come for free, IE8 is a security risk to use on the Net.

    And other browser manufacturers have also stopped issuing security updates when installed on XP.

    And support for Vista, 7 and 8 is also finished.

    That leaves 8.1 and 10.

    Cheers.
