Question

Is it possible to create a Windows XP instance on aws? Even if it means creating my own AMI, then I'm happy to do so.

I'm looking to offer training and there is a few reasons we require Windows XP, which cannot be avoided.

Was it helpful?

Solution

No, there is not. Only Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2012. There is no support for consumer desktop Windows operating systems.

OTHER TIPS

Yes, you can, but not directly. The usual scenario is to run XP virtualised, with it's own network adapter, under a hypervisor. It is being done.
