Is it possible to get sp1, sp2 and sp3 for XP

I know it's laid before, but where can I download updates SP1, SP2 and SP3 for XP.

I have the original XP Pro install media.

I am strongly considering to put XP Pro on a Dell PC I have has no HARD drive.

I plan to do that because it's basically Win8.1 PUE!

A HUGH mistake buying a machine with Win8.1!

It is UGLY, it is INFLATED WITH CARP, it is UNDESIRABLE to the IMO.

I have need a lot of talk of "insecurity" and any future update. I can't live without them.

I can't the XP service packs of MS or where ever?

CHANGE > in fact I found the s SP just now install media.

I found the stub thing after that I downloaded.  But I found no later than SP1 stub.  But if the SP1 is not necessary, I can remove it.  Just read somewhere that, in order to get SP3 installed, I need SP1 AND SP2.

No, to install sp3, you have sp1 OR sp2.

Yes, the news of the "System requirements" on the download page of the sp3 are vague and misleading: "Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Professional Edition, Windows XP Service Pack 1, Windows XP Service Pack 2."

Commas means 'or' - except the comma between the two editions and two service packs, which means 'and '.  The requirements must be written (XP Home or XP Pro) AND (XP sp1) or XP sp2.

If you don't end up doing this, see the post following MS MVP PA bear first: https://groups.google.com/forum/#! msg/microsoft.public.windowsupdate/4-jCtXsbshs/HBI-0476Wj8J
