Windows 10: Trying to find a solution for WinXP installation

Hi,I got an old IBM R60e laptop and I'm trying to make it work on its original OS, which is WinXP, but unfortunately, the sticker with the product key turned all white except the product key letters. I don't have the installation disk of the WinXP, so I downloaded an ISO of both Home and Pro versions, trying to install it. But in both cases, when I'm asked for the product key I get a "The product id you entered is not valid" error. So I wanted to ask please:1.

Lost ability to access Win10 from WinXP machine

Hi,

This is a lab I constructed since following this thread.

Setup:

Virtual Box
Windows 10 fresh install, latest ISO fully patched.
Windows XP Latest Version As patched as it need.

Setup:
Both Virtual machines virtual adapters Bridged to my Local Network
Both NetBios forced Enabled
Both in the same Workgroup
Both firewalls located in Private network

Enabled SMB1 on W10 Host

Created user named "monkey" with the password "banana" on both machines
Created a Share named !TEMP! on both machines, created a cookie File in each folder.
Give full control access to everyone and "monkey" on both shares.

From there I was unable to access the shared folder Without authentication period.
Automatic authentication did not work and using "Everyone full access" did not change anything.
I had to specifically log on the machine to gain any access.

CMD output:








If you want, you can do a step by step troubleshooting of your problem.
From the problematic machine.

Try to view if your Machine appears on the Network List:
Code:

If Your Machine appears on the list, try to view it:
Code:

The available shares will be listed there.
If it does not work you can use:
Code:

To verify if authentication is working properly, if it succeed, you can carry on... But nothing will be permanently saved.

Then Try to List the content of one of the directories:
Code:

This should list the content of the directory,

If all this works Try to map a drive on the share:
Code:

In my setup both windows are at the default initial configuration, no tweaks, and wont accept any of these commands without prior authentication.

The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
