MiniXP is a bootleg Windows XP SP3 edition, which was created by Damian9303. It released on February 2, 2016, and was added to the archive on December 12, 2021.

Description

The bootleg is a stripped down Windows XP SP3 ISO. Many things have been removed from the OS, as you would expect in a mod like this. Aside from that, it is not very interesting.

The most notable part about this bootleg is that it is one of the first ever bootlegs to use the name "MiniXP".

It is unattended and preactivated.

The bootleg was made using nLite 1.4.9.1.
