Check this out: www.ghacks.net/2014/05/24/get-security-updates-windows-xp-april-2019/'Microsoft's official support for the Windows XP operating system ended more than a month ago. While some companies and organizations are still receiving updates for the operating system, end users do not. These companies pay Microsoft for that, usually because they were not able or willed to migrate computer's running Windows XP to another operating system before the extended support phase for the system ended. There is another exception to the end of support rule: Windows Embedded Industry, formerly known as Windows Embedded POSReady, operating systems continue to receive updates. The extended support for Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 systems ends on April 9th, 2019 which means that you can use the trick to get another five years of security patches for XP. (A downloadable registry hack is included on page)

(A downloadable registry hack is included on page) I've seen later posts that this is probably NOT safe and can be considered risky. 2 Reasons: - Code base is different in some places, a later fix could break the system.
- Code is not complete with respect to XP's consumer code, there could still be an exposure in some consumer code that doesn't get patched and you'd be susceptible to a virus/trojan.
I wouldn't do this trick myself.
