After version 6, Visual Basic was replaced by Visual Basic. NET, an incompatible successor. Microsoft Visual Basic 6. It was extremely popular, and is still used in many businesses. It is the last that can create native bit applications for Windows 9x and NT. However, due to a vast number of people shifted to Windows 10, Microsoft has ended the direct way of downloading the Windows XP mode option.
We will make available Windows XP using a virtual machine. We assume that you are using Windows 10 on your system. Following are the requirements that we need to have in order to run Windows XP without issues on our system. Just rename the file as VirtualXP. Here, we assume that you have already downloaded the VirtualBox which is free to download the app so that we can be able to run Windows XP.
Step 5: Then assign the virtual disk that we have extracted before. Under Hard disk, select Use an existing virtual hard disk file. You extracted the virtual hard disk. You created a virtual machine, fiddled with the settings, and now you're ready to hit the power switch.
Double-click it and wait for Windows XP to burst into life:. There is a strong possibility that your mouse will not immediately work with the Windows XP Mode virtual machine. Navigate the operating system installation pages using the Tab key, arrow keys, Spacebar, and Enter key. Complete the installation. You'll arrive at a completely black screen.

If you feel devious, you could try the old Windows activation loop, whereby you reset the trial license back to its original day counter.
However, I haven't tried it with the Windows XP Mode virtual machine, so you will have to conduct a private experiment. But the easier solution is to create a snapshot of the Windows XP Mode virtual machine straight after installation.
Then, when the license expires, you can revert to your fresh snapshot but you'll lose all the data on the virtual machine, so bear that in mind. Note that just because you have Windows XP working doesn't mean you should use it!
