If you need a Windows XP ISO download for a specific purpose, here are some suggestions:

1. Official Sources:  
Microsoft no longer provides Windows XP ISOs for download, but if you have a valid product key, you might find official copies through authorized resellers or corporate channels.

2. Trusted Archives and Communities:  
Some reputable vintage software repositories or archives (like WinWorld) host old OS images for preservation and educational purposes.
Note: Downloading from such sources should be done cautiously, ensuring your system is protected.

3. Security Warning:  
Be cautious with unverified downloads. If you choose a Windows XP ISO download, scan it thoroughly with antivirus software before use.

For security and legal reasons, consider whether an alternative modern OS might better suit your needs, especially if you're planning to connect to the internet.
