Before you boot up your shiny new Windows XP virtual machine, you need to tweak a few settings. On the VirtualBox toolbar, press Settings. Head to System. Look at the Boot Order.

Highlight your Windows XP Mode virtual machine on the main VirtualBox window. Double-click it and wait for Windows XP to burst into life: Looks like you made it! There is a strong possibility that your mouse w...
The Windows XP Mode virtual machine has a temporary license that expires after 30 days. If you have an old Windows XP license, dig it out and enter it to try to keep the virtual machine alive. I say "try" because the Windows XP activation servers are long offline, but you can try a phone activation. If you feel devious, you could try the old Window...
Note that just because you have Windows XP working doesn't mean you should use it! Windows XP is no longer suitable as a primary operating system because of the security risks. If you are still running Windows XP on your home computer or laptop, you should consider upgrading to a modern operating system.

This should be legally in the clear as long as you have any kind of Windows license that you are not actively using on another device - an OEM license for the same edition would be fine. This is technically in the clear no matter what, you are simply not required to activate for 120 days.
