"The solutions and answers provided on Experts Exchange have been extremely helpful to me over the last few years. I wear a lot of hats - Developer, Database Administrator, Help Desk, etc., so I know a lot of things but not a lot about one thing. Experts Exchange gives me answers from people who do know a lot about one thing, in a easy to use platform." -Todd S.
You need to move up to Windows 8 or 10 They come with free Virtual "server" called Hyper-v, on which those VM will run.
Windows XP is long out of support.

Windows XP has long left the barn of test environments, so you will need your Windows XP disk and install as you would any other operating system.
Agree with the above. I have XP Machines here (guest machines). I use the XP CD to make them and service them. I think that is the preferred approach in my opinion.
Have you considered downloading Windows XP Mode
I hadn't but it may be a option is there a tutorial?
I get that fact XP has long gone however I have something I need to test that wasn't updated to win 7 let alone 8 or 10
Dose Windows XP Mode run legacy software as if it were XP?
XP Mode is only available in Windows 7. After that you need to build guest machines. My machines have worked as guests from Vista through to Windows 10.
XP Mode is Windows XP in a virtual machine using Microsoft Virtual PC. The advantages are that you can run an XP Mode application as a base OS application (meaning that it can show up in your start menu)
Any virtual machine is not an exact replication of hardware so it requires it's own drivers and some hardware is not supported, but at the OS and application level it is close enough.

Well despite all the comments, I'VE JUST DOWNLOADED IT AND EXTRACTED IT AND HAVE A WINDOWS XP VIRTUAL MACHINE RUNNING, IN LESS THAN 60 SECONDS! ON A Windows 10 Laptop!
Clearly Microsoft not binned it yet!
BUT....
Download XP mode from - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8002
Use 7 Zip to Explorer the *.EXE (WindowsXPMode_en-us.exe).
Extract and Decompress the file xpm, inside this file is a file called.. VirtualXPVHD
rename it to VirtualXP.VHD
and HEY PRESTO you have a Windows XP VHD, ready for Virtualbox, which when you start it, will start in Setup Mode!
I've just checked it all, can be done, as it's always been done, and the files are still present...
When you get your VHD it looks like this... when mounted...
here it is running...at startup
Lovely nice Windows XP VM running for FREE

@Andrew Your solution worked
However when I left mouse click inside the VM window I get this
I managed to crash out and set USB here
Starting the VM again Freezes both Keyboard and Mouse on the VM and host I had to attached a new mouse in order to gain control and stop the VM
Then mouse & keyboard worked again
This new mouse isn't recognized by the VM
Any ideas?
