XP on Hyper-V is definitely achievable and generally trivial to install. Per Microsoft these are expected and can be ignored for OSes earlier than Windows Server 2012 R2. The 2012R2 version of the IC should auto-install after you mount the ISO to the dvd drive and install all the necessary drivers. You can also download Hyper-V server from Microsoft and extract them, if you want them from a trusted source. You will need to get the IC from an older version of Hyper-V. (Same as the answer I provided on the other post you linked)

Limit your vCPUs to 1 or 2 for the install.Īfter the installation completes, you'll need to manually install the Integration Components (IC).

Limit you RAM for the install to 1 to 2GB, you can increase to 4GB after the install completes.

Home versions will not work under Hyper-V, you'll need the Pro version.

You'll need to use a Gen 1 VM, the basic hardware will work fine with XP.

Older versions without SP3 won't install. The installation DVD/ISO needs to have SP3 slipstreamed in it. I would like feedback from the community to confirm or deny this thesis. The more research I conduct on this topic, the closer I get to the conclusion that this is not going to be achievable. The responses provided so far by the community are either incomplete, inconclusive or out of scope. Unfortunately, this question remains unsolved. Then, I found the missing software drivers problem in the form of the "No VGA and sound driver installed in XP guest machine in Hyper-v virtualization" question.

Several critical drivers were missing, and this makes the virtual machine unusable. However, there was a problem with this installation, as it could not finish successfully. I was able to get a new Windows XP SP3 virtual machine installation. I started with the recommendations enumerated on the "Get official Windows XP virtual machine for Hyper-V" question. This question is not a duplicate in the Super User community. A Windows XP with missing drivers is not acceptable. The Windows XP virtual machine is expected to be working correctly.Other hypervisors like VMWare or Virtual Box are out of this scope. The virtualization hypervisor should be Microsoft Hyper-V.Other hosting operating systems or versions are out of this scope. Objective summary: to have a Windows XP SP3 Hyper-V virtual machine working correctly on a Windows 10 Pro host.
