I need to test a program on Windows XP, where can I find a .iso to put on a VM? Is there any way to get an iso similar to what microsoft hosts on , a free .iso that expires after 90 days for development use.

I have my CD-key sticker with me but don't have the CD anymore. Is there anywhere I can download Windows XP SP3 installation disc from?

Does each KVM guest require its own copy of the bootable ISO image? If I'm thinking correctly, the guest only needs to read the .iso, not lock it or anything, so multiple guests should be able to use the same ISO. Or am I approaching the problem the wrong way?  Thanks in advance for your time!

Windows XP/2003 and earlier (can't attest to Windows Vista, but I suspect it's the same) all appear to become more sluggish over time as applications are installed and uninstalled.  This is not a scientifically tested observation, but more of a learned-through-experience piece of wisdom.  (I've always suspected the registry as being behind the issue.)  Is there any concrete evidence of this degradation occurring, or it just an invalid perception of mine?

I am currently running a time consuming python script on a virtual machine(It has been running for ~95 hours at the moment). I have no idea how long it will take to complete and am running it on a VM because of the possibility to save the state and reboot my laptop (In case of mandatory updates). However, I just received an e-mail that I have to turn my laptop in to get an upgrade from windows 8 to windows 10 tomorrow.   Because the script has been running for quite some time now I don't want to start all over again the day after tomorrow. Is it possible to back-up the VM including the current state and get it up and running again when my machine has been updated? And if so what is the best way to do this?  Some extra information: -I am running windows 8 on the host system -The VM is running Xubuntu 16.04  Thanks in advance!  Edit: I'm not upgrading from windows 8 to 10 with the free upgrade, i will receive a clean windows 10 installation because of company policy.

I need to repair my Windows 10 installation. Where can I get a clean ISO (with install.wim, no Install.ESD, so that I can run DISM against the WIM) of the specific Windows 10 build required for this?  In my case, I need the Anniversary update (Build 14393), Creators Update (Build 15063) or Fall Creators Update (Build 16299.15).

How can I install  beta ?   I see on their website that they only offer a 64-bit installation files, but the sources are open.   I can't use the usual ./configure &amp;&amp; make. So, what can I do ?

I'm trying to edit the hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts), because I want to setup a local redirect for my website (like I've always done in XP). However, I can't save the changes!  I have taken ownership, I have allowed my account full access and have tweaked every other setting I can think of. Every time I edit and save it, "Access is denied" pops up.  How do I get past this?

How do I burn the latest 12.10 790 MB ISO to a CD?  My burning software says insert a disk but 700 MB CD's are too small. I tried a DVD and that didn't work either.

I'm just a simple user frustrated with Windows 10 and I want to leave Windows altogether.  However, I don't want to spend three weeks learning how to install the new system and then get all my current programs to work.  I am not setting up a server, I am not a developer and I do not want all my stuff on a cloud.

I am looking for a free open source ISO metadata editor for the development of an enterprise database.    It will mostly be used for documenting shapefiles and GeoTIFFs.   Hoping that it will be an intuitive software since a range of skill levels will be working with it.  Any suggestions?

I have a Windows 7 product key that I foolishly did not label.  Rather than downloading and creating disks for however many different ISOs exist (Basic, Pro, Ultimate, 32-bit/64-bit, upgrade, full version) and testing each one until one works, is there a way I can discover what the key is for specifically?

I have a specific requirement (probably silly!) for testing a browser of Chrome. I realize this requirement isn't the most logical, but politics being what they may I'd like to know the technical workaround.  I need to test a site in version, let's say, 28 of Google Chrome. Obviously Google runs a silent updater which can be disabled, but at this point they don't (to my knowledge) release old archives of the MSI installers (which I can easily use to reinstall and force a no-update option for testing). If we can get this working on a single instance then there's a possibility that a virtual machine or some other workaround will give us an easy restore point to meet this test.  If anyone has a good idea of where to start here that would be amazing.  I've already floated the "why are we doing this question?" and the answer is that it is part of the requirements so we need to make a best effort.  UPDATE:   FileHippo appears to only archive the online installer (automatic update)  OldApps doesn't archive Chrome anymore  OldVersion doesn't appear to have any Chrome Archives   UPDATE 2:  - The accepted answer's server is the correct solution here at this point in time. Basically speaking you're looking for the full install (30 or so MB). If you have an 800K file it is the online installer which automatically updates.

Is there an application capable of recording sound that I can run from the command line on XP?  Ideally I'd start it with one command and stop it with another. Or I could specify a duration with the starting command.
