there is a small package you can install, provided by a group of hobbyists, to restore functionality to windows update. using that you can get your machine up to the newest point possible. check out https://legacyupdate.net

i recently put together a machine to do that too.. play some old point and click games that never made it to steam (or are incredibly broken otherwise)

just don't use it for day-to-day stuff (casual web browsing) anymore .. up to date for xp definitely doesn't mean secure ;)
