The one thing you have to give is the serial number, use this one: MRX3F-47B9T-2487J-KWKMF-RPWBY Anything else is not mandatory, you can just click Next etc. 9) Once the computer rebooted, it'll continue the process but from here everything will be obvious and just basic information you may need to give, you can type in random stuff for names etc.

8) Click Start and go through the installation process (pretty self-explanatory but you will have to press Enter, then F8, then Enter twice and you're good to go). This is where you should navigate to the OS (.iso file) you downloaded in Step 2 by clicking the little folder icon and clicking the "Add" option. 7) Now you can start your VM and it should ask for a start-up disk. This way, the VM will be able to connect to the Internet. Then go click on Network > Advanced > Adapter Type and choose the option "PCnet-FAST III" and click OK. Choose "Bidirectional" on the two options visible so you can copy and paste text material. First stay in General and click on the Advanced tab. Right click on your freshly created VM and click on Settings. 6) Before installing the OS, there are two important settings to make. I would recommend something between 5-10 GB because you really won't need more.

Click Create and a window will pop up, this is where you can set how much space you want to leave for your VM's hard drive, again you won't need much since the system takes up ~1.2 GB, so just choose as much as you want and can easily store on your actual hard drive. 5) Make sure the option "Create a virtual hard disk now" is the one selected. 4) Choose how much RAM you want to use from your actual PC to power the VM, you shouldn't go further than 512 MB since WinXP doesn't need much, you can even go as low as 128 MB and it'll probably still work fine but if you have lots of RAM then you can choose more if you'd like. Give your VM a name you'd like, I usually give it the name of the OS (WinXP in this case), and make sure that it's set to the correct type and version. ISO - TORRENT (download the file and open it with your torrent client) (Idk if you can use an original copy or not, but probably most of you don't have one so just get it from, it's alright :P) 3) Open VirtualBox and select "New". (This is needed because it may not work for everyone on Win10 or Win11, atleast it froze my PC but you are allowed to try lol, this is the better option to make it more nostalgic and ensure that it'll work smoothly).
