I remember W7 came with a free XP license for it's XP mode. Is the same true of W10, that it comes with a free XP license?
I have some old automotive tuning software I need to run for a one-off project (don't ask lol) so I wanted to get XP going in Hyper-V on W10. I can't seem to find a download link for an XP image anywhere on Microsoft's website though. I was hoping MS would have an activated Hyper-V XP Pro image published you could simply download once their website verifies your current OS activation is legit, but I don't see that.
I'm sure I'm not the first person to run into this....
Thanks!!! Alex
EDIT: Perhaps I could install W7 on Hyper-V then run XP mode inside that, but then I need a W7 license lol. Does MS still offer that with a 30-day trial? I don't need to connect hardware for my needs, just run some software to edit some data.
