    This tutorial will assume that you have a Linux-based operating system installed on your computer. I will be using the apt package manager in this tutorial- for ease of following instructions, I recommend Debian or Ubuntu.

    Download VcXsrv Windows X Server for free.
    Using a web browser on your host/"real" system, download a version of VcXsrv that's compatible with Windows XP. I'm using version 1.14.2.1. You'll also need a version of OpenSSH that's compatible with Windows XP. I suggest setupssh-7.3p1-2-cygwin252.exe from that link. Start your VM, and run the installers within the VM, locating them in your new shared folder. In my installation, I can access my host computer's downloads through Z:\home\ramblecube\Downloads\.
