The project, titled “Unofficial Service Pack 4”, is one of several efforts by the Windows user community to continue support for the popuar operating system. “For this reason, I started working on a Service Pack 4 package.”
“Many users – including me – who won’t be able to upgrade their old machines to a newer OS would like to easily install all Windows updates in one convenient package,” wrote the developer, known by the moniker Harkaz, in a statement introducing the software.

I have since put the installation on hiatus until I can verify the security of this piece of software. Luckily for me, I own a disc that allowed me to bypass this issue and continue to the installation. Without one of these discs, you cannot install! The installation will not proceed unless you already possess a genuine Windows XP CD to verify that you are "eligible for this upgrade". Most importantly though, when the USB was ready to use and an attempt was made to install this onto another laptop, it came up with a Microsoft "verification" check during Windows Setup. (Laptop used has a 7th gen intel Core i3 with 4 GB of RAM, so more than capable for such task)ĭuring the creation of the USB, 1 Trojan virus was detected by Panda security and was eliminated immediately and moved to quarantine, so not sure if it made the transfer to the USB or not. I used Rufus to create the USB and it took nearly 6 HOURS from start to finish.
