I use VMware to run Xp on my Windows 10 system. It works great but you still have to own and install Xp. VMware is is an interface that will set aside 40G of HDD space for each virtual machine you want to create and upgrading it doesn't change the virtual machine content, just the interface. It also lets you use all the peripherals attached to your PC, DVD drive, printer, etc.

Downside is you still have to install the virtual machine operating system just like a normal install, and it doesn't run games very well. I use it to run older graphics software and CAD style programs that are broken in a 64 bit environment.
