Hello,

Technically, yes. However, it won't be directly from Microsoft. You will have to go to places like the Internet Archive and download the ISO.

However, you will most likely be unable to activate it since both Windows 2000 and Windows XP went out of service years ago.

I hope this helps.

    I suggest you stay off the internet with end-of-life operating systems.
