NOTE: This may require Service Pack 3 for Windows XP 32-bit to be installed.
I have started rebuilding some vintage PCs with Windows XP as part of my upcoming YouTube content. These PCs will be for sale also!
The first problem I ran into with Windows XP was activation error message 32777, which I have resolved in this video.
This will only work if you have a valid product key, which for XP machines will be on a sticker somewhere on the computer. Or in the box with older retail copies of XP.
Consider subscribing! In the future, I will be uploading a video on methods for updating Windows XP.
