Go back to the sources folder and you will find a new VirtualXPVHD file. Click OK on the window that appears to extract the file. Select the file named VirtualXPVHD by clicking on it, then select Extract from the toolbar above (the blue minus sign). A 7-Zip window will appear showing the contents of the file. Right-click on the file, highlight 7-Zip from the pop-up menu, then select Open archive from the sub-menu. The top one, xpm, is the file you’re looking for. Open the WindowsXPMode_en-us folder that appears when 7-Zip is finished, then open sources to find three files. Right-click on it, highlight 7-Zip from the pop-up menu, then select Extract to “WindowsXPMode_en-us\” from the sub-menu. With 7-Zip installed, look for the WindowsXPMode_en-us file you downloaded earlier. Save the file and run it to install 7-Zip. If you’re unsure about which one to get, right-click on the Windows start menu icon (at the bottom-left of your screen) and select System. Click here to download the software, making sure you choose the correct type depending on your system (32-bit or 64-bit). Windows’ own extraction tool isn’t enough and 7-Zip is a useful tool to have anyway. If you don’t have the program 7-Zip already you will need to download and install it. This file is just under 470MB so it may take a while. Save the file in your desired location, such as the Downloads folder. Then click Next to open the Save As dialogue window. Click Download, then select the checkbox next to the first file: WindowsXPMode_en-us.exe. Follow this link to go to Microsoft’s download page for Windows XP Mode, which was designed for Windows 7 but never adapted for Windows 8 or 10. Thankfully this can be done legally with no purchase necessary (at least temporarily). The first thing you will need to do is download a copy of Windows XP. Credit for this first part of the tutorial goes to download3K for their article here, which I have adapted below.
