    Where did you get XP and the key? Is it possible it's not a genuine copy?

    Even if it is though, XP is a terrible choice nowadays as it's end of life, completely unsupported in terms of patches or security updates, and if you put it on the Internet it's a massive security risk to your data.

    Better to get yourself a copy of Windows 10 (or at least Windows 7) to be honest.
