Find a budget gaming PC with an Xbox setup.
The Xbox CPU was a specialized Intel processor, and I believe no standard Windows version would support it. The graphics card would also lack compatible drivers. If the setup fails, as Curious Pineapple mentioned, you could modify it and construct a PC from scratch. (Those older Xbox models had adequate space, and there are now some compact parts available.)
BIOS settings are available if you have the ability to reach the original console. That system was the last one capable of running additional operating systems.
Windows CE operated on the device, the mouse functioned but without a cursor, and the project was eventually dropped. The initial operating system was Windows 2000; it might be feasible to install a complete version of Windows 2000 on it using the kernel source, and integrate the Xbox-specific modifications (like missing PCI bus).
Their process is ongoing, offering a substantial portion of the Windows API and exposing potential security weaknesses, which simplifies emulating or translating applications. I possess the source for the Xbox kernel somewhere, and I recall the SP1 release for 2k was leaked but that specific version wasn’t discovered.
