In this post we will look at one of the options for how to remove authentication in Windows XP, in other words, how to activate the Windows XP operating system. I will say right away that it will require a small manipulation of the registry.

Attention! Use caution when working with the registry. Incorrectly changing the parameter values ​​can lead to system malfunction.

   % systemroot% \\ system32 \\ oobe \\ msoobe.exe / a

An activation window will notify you that your Windows operating system is already activated.

Windows xp  - in many ways the legendary operating system. Released back in 2001, it is still installed on some computers. True, Microsoft itself does not support it for a long time, but this is absolutely not a problem. During its existence, Windows XP has managed to become so elaborated and protected that today it is used as an operating system for ATMs, payment terminals and other devices, where the absence of software vulnerabilities is important.


But for ordinary users, "defensive" windows functions  XP is not important at all. Convenience and speed are valuable for them. Windows XP has a very reasonable resource consumption, so it can run even on older computers with less than 1 GB random access memory, than modern operating systems cannot boast. They are more demanding on the hardware of the computer. Based on this, Windows XP is ideal for older computers - those that are still working on Pentium IV and other "antediluvian hardware." It shows them greater performance than, for example, Ubuntu and other alternatives.

But with modern equipment, this operating system can often conflict. In Windows XP, there is no native support for 64-bit architecture. As a result, it is “frightened” by more than 4 GB of RAM, modern processors, even peripheral equipment last generations. That is why this operating system is strongly recommended not to install on modern laptops, especially those that come with Windows 8.1 or later. There is a risk to turn the device into an inefficient and practically inoperable brick. And this, apart from the fact that Windows XP belongs to Legacy-systems, and with the UEFI BIOS will not start at all.

Why then do you need Windows XP in the modern world of 64-bit architectures and at least 8 GB of RAM? Of course, for installation on old computers! The ones that even have USB 2.0 ports are rare in the amount of 1-2 pieces per motherboard. With such computers even play a human will not succeed. However, Windows XP is absolutely not the operating system that gamers dream of. The fact is that it only supports DirectX 9.0 - a rather outdated graphic library. Games for her stopped releasing in 2006, with the release of DirectX 10.0 and operating windows systems 7.

At present windows time  XP is well suited for installation on workstations where they will be installed exclusively office applications  such as MS Office or 1C. This operating system currently shows poor performance even in web surfing. The reason, again, is purely technical - the 32-bit architecture does not support more than 3.4 GB of RAM (even if you plug in more voluminous “dies,” there will be no more than 3.4 GB available), and modern Internet pages thanks to Flash, HTML5 and other technologies. Ajax PHP can "eat off" about 200 MB of RAM each!

But the main advantage of Windows XP is its familiarity. Over the long years of its existence, it has become almost “native”, and any PC user can perform any system operations with her eyes closed or just open the Start menu. Not like Windows 8! In addition, this operating system offers extensive customization options - from individual interface elements to "internal libraries". You can customize its appearance, as you like. And finally, its low resource intensity allows it to be installed on low-power devices like navigators and other portable electronics.


If you suddenly wanted to get this largely outdated operating system  - well, or somewhere in the corner the iron “dinosaur” is gathering dust, which you want to reanimate - then you shouldn’t look for any assemblies from craftsmen. Better to download the original image by Microsoft itself!

After unpacking the downloaded archive file windows image  XP Professional SP3 VL must be burned onto a CD, preferably at minimum speed, followed by verification. To record the image, you can use the program. Also in the archive there is a file "Keys.txt" which contains license keys for install windows  XP Professional SP3 VL.

Checksums to verify the integrity of the downloaded image:

IMPORTANT!!!  When installing the bootloader, additional software is installed, if it is not necessary, then uncheck the installation process of the bootloader.
