    Probably want to save all the SP updates in a safe place, in case you need to reinstall and those SP are not available for download anymore on MS!

    Pretty sure you can get the current updates etc for a long time... They just won't be making any new ones.
    If you're happy and you know it......it's your meds.

    For example, Microsoft's "MS-DOS 6.x Step-Up" to version 6.22 downloads from ~20 years ago are still available:

    Wow, that's very nice of MS! Unlike some companies, Adobe comes to mind, support for old versions is practically nonexistent.

    THE one and ONLY reason why I love my Xp is to be able to use Money 98 which I have 14 years of backups .. ( .mny extensions ) .. so what to to do what to do .. I had a flash of genius and figured exactly what I am going to do.. Out of my three Hard drives connected to my motherboard .. One of the drives ( ide) is a 40 GB drive that is really just sitting there .. I will install XP with my disc and key early next year get all the last available updates for XP and will only use that drive as a dual boot system to either an installed win 7 or win 8 for email and web searches only ..
    I will use XP for my money98 banking updates during the week.. I can create a dual boot PC between two O/S can't I ?? Not worried about this at all as I would not surf or find my email with Windows XP pro just use my beloved Money 98 ..
    Windows 10 Home 64 Intel® Core™ i5-8265U (1.6 GHz base frequency, up to 3.9 GHz, 6 MB cache, 4 cores)

    You can also run XP inside 7. That way both operating systems can be running at the same time on the same screen(s).
