Mr. Williams discovered that using Registry Hack, Windows XP installed will receive security updates. Actually, "Windows XP Service Pack 3Included in ","Windows Embedded POSReady 2009"Is an OS targeted for embedded devices based on the Windows XP kernel. Support of POSReady 2009 will continue until April 2019, but the content of security update is exactly the same as that of Windows XP, Williams uses registry hack, POSReady 2009 security in Windows XP I have devised a way to receive updates.

The way Williams discovered is very simple. First of all, we create a text file named "XP.reg". When assigning a name, it is necessary to confirm that the extension is ".reg" instead of ".txt". After creating "XP.reg", select Edit from right click and copy and paste the following text for 32 bit XP. Simply paste the text, save and exit, double click the icon and you're done. This means that you can receive POSReady 2009 security updates on Windows XP every month.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ WPA \ PosReady]

"Installed" = dword: 00000001

If you are using the 64-bit version XP, than the 32-bit versionComplex procedureIs required. The 64-bit version XP is based on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 which is out of support in July 2015. First, download the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 update manually, move it to an arbitrary file and execute it. After execution, copy "update _ SP 2 QFE.inf" in c: \ xpupdate \ update to "new_update _ SP 2 QFE.inf" and rewrite it.

Delete the following text in new_update_SP2QFE.inf.


After deleting, insert the following text at the very end.


After editing new_update_SP 2 QFE.inf, create and execute "update.cmd" file with the following contents. This means that Windows XP will be able to receive security updates for Microsoft Windows Server 2003.
