If I can, I'd like to browse the Internet on Windows XP.

I'm using VirtualBox and Windows XP Professional 64x

Not sure what a "modern browser" is, but take a look at https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/48.0/system-requirements/ .

Never mind, I underestimated Opera 12.14, and can now use even the websites with that dang "https" thing that prevents older browsers from using the site.

  1. Go to Network Connections > Connect to the Internet  select how you want to set up your connection.
  2. Select Choose from a list of Internet Service Providers to look for your ISP
