This makes it worthwhile for everybody with an older CD to do and is quite easy only taking a few minutes. Slipstreaming the latest Service Pack can actually save between 1 and 2 hours on a slow machine if you have to install it after your operating system has been installed. This method is called “Slipstreaming” and while it creates an updated install from you CD, it also produces a much quicker and cleaner Windows installation.
If your Windows CD doesn’t include the latest Service Pack, there is a process to be able to seamlessly integrate it onto your CD (or USB stick) and with every new installation of the Operating System from then on, the latest Service Pack is installed at the same time. The problem is, if you don’t have the latest version of Windows XP on your install CD, there will be literally hundreds of patches from Microsoft Update including the latest Service Pack which you have to install first and is over 300MB. The most notable being Wifi support introduced to XP in Service Pack 2. The Packs contain most of the released hotfixes up to that point and also a few new features and enhancements. I have been out of the Panny loop for a while.Windows XP has now had 3 major update packages called Service Packs in the time since its release. This is a partial solution, as it only creates a legitimate OEM type install disc that should work with our OEM keys. I am in process of creating a couple install discs now that I have my downloads completed. Somewhere there I found a really good article on slipstreaming all the updates into an install iso. In my searches I kept finding articles there, each one with rabbit holes linked to other articles just as interesting. The article with a link to the tool can be found here: This article links not only the MS link above for retail downloads, but tells you how to download a tool to access Microsoft's servers directly to download other versions, including OEM installs. Where to Download Windows 10, 8.1, and 7 ISOs Legally But, there is a SAFE answer! And in fact I found the information to do this in the same place I found the link you posted up: The keys on the bottom of our laptops are OEM ones.
