Windows XP (SP0) supports upgrades from 98/NT 4+. Later service packs, however, require Windows 2000 or above.

I don't like Windows 10/11. I like (best to 4th best): 7, 8.1, Vista, and XP.

Windows XP SP2 actually can be upgraded from 9x/NT 4.0.

but problem he's having is his version of XP is modified and may not have the upgrade options

Here is the ISO:

I have another ISO, this ISO can boot.

ISO Link:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y7S1OL ... sp=sharing

What i made this ISO:

I Extracted the Original Windows XP ISO, modified the ISO with nLite,
i modified manually the Windows XP files with the Modified Windows XP.

Probably unattended setup (with inputs to the setup program being taken from an answer file)
