Small-Tiny-Micro Windows XP
ISOs by eXPerience & Others
There are around 100 small-ish Windows XP ISOs available here for download.
About half of these are by eXPerience and the rest by various authors including Dark Reverser, Pankoza, Chibi,
K4101-EVO23 and several other authors - for some ISOs the author is now lost in time.
I've tried quite a few of these in VirtualBox, especially those by eXPerience, and for quite a few years MicroXP
v0.82 was my go-to XP install for old laptops.
A lot of the ones I've tried have a very brief notation included in the file name to distinguish them as having half
a dozen downloaded ISOs named "Windows XP Lite" doesn't tell me much.
I know that some people get twitchy about renaming downloaded files, but . . . my house, my rules (SIUP).
I'm not going to give a detailed description of each of the ISOs here as there are too many of them - if one
catches your eye, then download it and try it in VirtualBox or VMware as most ISOs are quite small (they range
in size from 63mb to 700mb, although there are a couple of smaller PE versions included for SnGs).
I've grouped the ISOs according to author - if I have 2+ ISOs from an author then they're grouped separately.
I've also listed the ISOs in what's essentially a directory dump of how the ISOs are stored on this server.
To download any of the ISOs below, just click on the ISO name.
These are not all of the Windows XP versions I have, just some of the smaller and more interesting ones.
Some of them are quite impressive for what's been achieved in such a small package.
All credit to the authors for making these available for everyone to enjoy.
Almost all will scan cleanly but a few may attract attention from your AV for key finders or system tweaks etc.
but then you know the drill - adult behaviour required.
Anyways, hê pret !
Kind regards,

Update for Nanny Google, Nov 2025
Nanny Google now marks this page as "Dangerous". Give me a break.
Why are smartphone users so insecure and lacking confidence in themselves ?
That kind of nonsense really gives me the irrits, so I've applied the usual workaround for this page.
All files on this page are now encrypted (using Picocrypt) which turns them into unobtrusive binary blobs.
To restore the files, download Picocrypt here and unzip and run. No install and your AV won't object to it.
Picocrypt is 14kb of Blowfish goodness - click here for the author's original site on the Internet Archive.
To use Picocrypt, run it and on the "Default Password" popup click "Cancel". On the Picocrypt menu bar, select
"Option" then uncheck "Always ask password". Next, select "Option" again and select "Set default password".
Enter the word "virtualbox" (no quotes) in both fields of the popup and click "OK".
You can now drag and drop whatever files you want to unencrypt onto the Picocrypt window. Picocrypt will
prompt you to select either "Encrypt" or "Decrypt" - select "Decrypt" and the file will be unencrypted in place.
You can continue to drag files onto the window to decrypt without having to enter a password again.
Note you'll need free memory at least as large as the file you're decrypting (up to 4.3GB). I expect Picocrypt
decrypts the file into memory and then writes the decrypted file back over the original encrypted file.
And - wait until the status of the decryption in Picocrypt moves from "100% Decrypted" to "Decrypted" as it
seems the 100% status indicates the file is decrypted in memory, but still needs to be written back to disk.
The reason I'm using Picocrypt here is that for files >2GB Picocrypt is faster than DScrypt (although you will
need to ignore the Picocrypt progress indicator for files over 4GB as it's rather wishful thinking).
Note the files have a .dat extension - ignore this as they're .zip files and your unzip app will open them using
the right click on the file name and "Open with" your unzip app. You can rename them to .zip if you prefer.
As Nanny Google has marked this page as "Dangerous" Chrome and Supermium block all downloads.
The only way to download the files here is to over-ride the "Dangerous file blocked" warning - or use a
browser such as PaleMoon / Basilisk / LibreWolf that are not yet infected with the Google Mind Virus.
The block may disappear once Google bots re-crawl this page and mark the files as binary blobs - but I
won't hold my breath waiting for that to happen.
Easy Way To Download Any File Below In Unencrypted Form:
Or how to tell Nanny Google to shove it where the sun don't shine.
All the individual ISO files listed below are also on my FTP server and it turns out that Windows or MAC
can access FTP sites using Windows Explorer or MAC Finder.
My thanks go to the "HowToGeek" for this tip.
This applies to Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 11 and MAC.
In the address box of Windows Explorer or MAC Finder simply type the following FTP connect string:
ftp://multiboot-windows.dscloud.me/usbshare1/FTP_HOME/
and press enter.
MAC users my need to use the "Anonymous" option if asked for login credentials.
Voila - the directory contents of my FTP server appear in the same way as any other drive and you can
now drag and drop any file from the FTP drive onto your PC.
For the XP ISO files below, select the directory: 030_Small-Tiny-Micro_XP_ISOs_by_eXPerience_&_Others
Or you can copy the full FTP link by putting your mouse cursor here and right click for "Copy link address".
Note the FTP server is read only, no uploads possible.

ISO Sources:
The best site I've found for small / customised versions of Windows XP (and others) is the Internet Archive.
There are probably thousands of Windows XP versions on the site.
For example, searching for "XP Lite" returns 667 matches: https://archive.org/search?query=%28XP%20lite%29
Searches for related keywords such as "XP Nano", "XP Super", "XP Tiny", etc. will probably be similar.
There are still plenty of people modifying Windows XP (and w7 and w10) and downloading from the Archive is probably less risky than downloading from some other sites, as the Archive allows reviews of it's files.
The archive can also be a reasonably good source of drivers, although about the best sites I've found for early to mid 2000s drivers are driverscape.com and driverguide.com, but there are heaps of others - just avoid the sites that insist you login to download files as many of these seem a bit dodgy.
For software for older OSs, WinWorldPC and RetroSystemsRevival are great resources, but there are dozens of other good sites to be found - as long as you exercise some common sense and avoid sites that use "crack" or "keygen" in the site description that pops up in your search results.
And searching for Windows XP or Windows 98 on YouTube will throw up thousands of hits for tutorials and how-to's for these, so there's no shortage of advice about how to keep using these OSs in 2024, either as daily drivers or simply for a hobby.
Windows XP and Windows 98 are also great reminders of what an OS should be - small, functional, efficient and not focussed on restricting the user experience (or selling them games or other useless software).
Windows XP may not be mainstream anymore, but reports that it's dead and buried are a little overblown.
VirtualBox - Portable Versions:
I usually use portable apps, so I've uploaded a small selection of VirtualBox Portable installations (in .zip files) that could be useful for testing the ISOs above.
No install needed, just extract the folder from the .zip and run VirtualBoxPortable.exe.
Included are versions that run on XP+, Windows 7+ and Windows 8.1+ (x32 + x64).
As a bonus I've included one of the last versions of the original VirtualBox by Innotek that will run on Windows 2000-XP (although it's an installer version rather than a portable version) for all you w2000 diehards.
If you choose to try one (or more) of the portable versions read the note about possible driver issues.
Either use the link on the home page to go to the download page or just click here.
