Windows XP cannot be started in the new VM version 2018.
I installed Windows XP inside a virtual machine to run classic games, but it won’t start up via phone or the web. It seems Microsoft has disabled activation services entirely. You might need to try alternative methods or reinstall the activation tools to get your genuine Windows XP working.
They're handling the support, and the activation servers are following suit. It's similar to enabling DOS for them right now.
Just about to revise my entry. Seems folks are still engaging through the auto-activation and confirming it functions.
They built it this way to push you toward paying for Windows 10, though the phone concept might affect your daily routine.
