Windows XP-qcow2 Download Review

Finding a pre-configured QCOW2 image can be tricky because Windows XP is proprietary software. Most official sources have been retired, but you can generally find these files through the following methods:

• Microsoft’s Stance: Windows XP is no longer supported (EOL since April 8, 2014), but it is still proprietary software. Distributing a pre-installed QCOW2 image violates Microsoft’s Copyright.
• The “Legitimate” QCOW2: Most legitimate QCOW2 downloads are created by users who own a valid Windows XP license key. You download the base image (which is unactivated or requires a key) or you build your own from a Volume License ISO.

• Acquire a legitimate Windows XP installation ISO or CD and a valid product key/license. Windows XP is end-of-life and Microsoft no longer sells it, so ensure you have a lawful license (e.g., old retail key, corporate license).
