It didn\u2019t even occur to me that MS might yank the plug on re-installation, although it would be great if someone could speak authoritatively to this point. I see is nothing on MS\u2019s lifecycle page (windows.microsoft.com\/en-us\/windows\/products\/lifecycle) concerning perpetual re-installation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That got me wondering and I think it is a valid question so I contacted a rep at Microsoft and posed it to the Windows team.<\/p>\n<p>This is the reply I got back from a Microsoft spokesperson:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>After XP End Of Support, Windows XP will remain on MSDN and TechNet for customers who still need to activate and re-activate XP (there aren\u2019t new retail copies). We don\u2019t have a date to share around when activation will be shut off, but it will be on for the foreseeable future.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.windowsobserver.com\/2013\/09\/17\/will-microsoft-turn-off-the-windows-xp-activations-servers-after-official-support-ends-in-april-2014\/\" target=\"_blank\">Keep in mind &#8211; Article continued here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This excerpt appears with permission from Windows Observer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/techtalk.pcpitstop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/winxp150.jpg\" alt=\"winxp150\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-45329\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Richard Hay offers an important follow up to his post about the end of support for Windows XP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":66012,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[761],"tags":[532],"class_list":["post-45790","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-windows-observer","tag-windows-xp"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
