Unfortunately the official Windows support XP ended in April 2014: regular updates and patches are no longer available for the operating system. However, if you still don't have Service Pack 3, which bundles older updates, now is the time to install it.

To update Windows XP to SP3, download the package from the official Microsoft website. Before installation, it is recommended, just in case, to back up important files and disable the antivirus. Then double click on the downloaded SP3 file to run it. Follow the installation wizard instructions, and when completed, click the "Finish" button to restart your computer. Do not forget to turn on the antivirus later if it was turned off.

Unofficial Windows XP Update

Advanced users have come up with a way to extend the receipt of updates for Windows XP by editing the registry. This allows you to automatically install updates for the Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 version, which is based on Windows XP but is designed for cash registers and ATMs. However, it is worth considering that such updates have not been tested directly on Windows XP, so it is impossible to guarantee their reliability 100%.

To use this update method, open Notepad and copy the following code into it:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
"Installed"=dword:00000001

Then choose Save from the File menu. In the save window, select the "All Files" option from the "File Type" menu and give the new file any suitable name with a .reg extension, such as "update.reg" (without quotes). Click the "Save" button, then locate the saved file and double-click on it to automatically make the necessary changes to the registry. If you are prompted to confirm the operation, click Yes.

Unofficial Service Pack 4

In addition, an unofficial Service Pack 4 was released for Windows XP not so long ago. It contains all the updates released by Microsoft since Service Pack 3, and also automatically makes the changes described above to the registry. You can download the package from Softpedia.com. It is installed in exactly the same way as SP3. But, of course, you need to remember that this is an unofficial update, so you can not guarantee its normal operation. However, after the end of official support, this is one of the few remaining ways to update your Windows XP system.

On April 8, 2014, Microsoft officially ended support for Windows XP. This means that computers running this OS no longer receive automatic updates, because of this, the system becomes vulnerable to attacks if critical vulnerabilities are discovered. As the only recommendation, Microsoft suggests updating to the latest Windows versions, but in practice this is not always possible. Somewhere the old "iron" is still used, someone does not want or cannot spend money on new licenses, someone fundamentally does not recognize new systems. After all, I myself have recently become convinced that it is too early to write off Windows XP. Be that as it may, there is a sneaky way that Windows XP users can still get updates despite the end of official support.

There is a special version of Windows XP - Windows Embedded POSReady 2009, which is based on the most common Windows XP Service Pack 3. Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 runs numerous terminals, ATMs, information stands, self-service systems, payment kiosks and other similar devices. But the main charm is that support for Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 will last right up to April 9, 2019, that is, updates will be released before this date. I myself have come across Windows Embedded POSReady many times at work, and as a software developer, and for all the time I have not found any fundamental differences from Windows XP. Therefore, if you install updates intended for POSReady on Windows XP, then there will be no problems. Of course, updates will not be installed on your computer just like that, for this you will have to disguise your Windows XP as an operating system for terminals.

Cunning Germans on one of the forums found a very simple way, thanks to which the system will be identified not as Windows XP, but as Windows Embedded POSReady 2009. It all comes down to the fact that you need to add only one key to the registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

"Installed"=dword:00000001

Save the above code in a file with any name and extension .reg, then double click on it and add changes to the registry. You can download the finished reg file from the link below:

WinXP.to.POSReady.zip (245 bytes)

After making changes, you must restart your computer. Now you can run windows service Update, and if everything is done correctly, then with the first check, several dozen updates will become available. They are labeled as updates for WEPOS and POSReady 2009, as they should be.

Thus, XP users will be able to receive updates over the coming years, unless, of course, Microsoft somehow blocks this possibility. An interesting official reaction from Microsoft representatives to the possibility of updating Windows XP after the end of support:

We recently became aware of a hack that would supposedly allow Windows XP users to receive security updates. These security updates that may be installed are for Windows Embedded and Windows Server 2003 and do not fully protect Windows XP. Windows users XP is still putting their machines at serious risk by installing these updates that have not been tested for Windows XP. the best way protect your systems is to upgrade to more new version e.g. up to Windows 7 or Windows 8.1

Again, I'm familiar with Windows Embedded POSReady firsthand and have no idea what more "testing" upgrades on Windows XP require. This statement is nothing more than a veiled disclaimer.

What could threaten such a change in the system? On the technical side, nothing. In extreme cases, you can delete the key from the registry, restart the computer and the system will again turn into the most ordinary Windows XP. But on the legal side, you are violating the license in the most flagrant way. If on home computers such nonsense can be put with a parting, then on working machines, in the event of a check, unnecessary questions may arise.

It's been more than 2 years since Microsoft company stopped releasing updates for the legendary version of the Windows XP operating system. However, to this day, many office workers and owners of weaker PCs use it. And everything would be fine, but these users are deprived of the opportunity to receive fixes for deficiencies, improve performance and system security.

However, as it turned out, Microsoft will release updates for Windows XP even before 2019. However, only government agencies, banks, and other services can receive these updates. It is they who have Windows XP Service Pack 3 installed and the necessary changes are made in the registry editor. How to update Windows XP for free and improve the performance of your own PC?
