That used to be in Technet.

Goolge search doesn't find these, the search box here does. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previo ... s/windows/

Not everything that was on TechNet for XP is there, some has been retired. Fortunately that's where the Wayback Machine is invaluable.

I must be honest and say, I hadn't checked, just taken the word of the Microsoft guy who publicised it.
And anything is better than nothing ;)

It does look a useful resource though.

BTW, I found that archived XP manual some years ago by Googling for old threads on XP that quoted it with links then, when I found Microsoft had retired it, fed the url into the Wayback Machine.

Since then I've had great success finding retired MS download pages that way, the downloads are archived as well as the web pages. As I did here...
