Trying to Install windows XP over my windows 10. But Not Succeeded so far :(

Need Help..!!!
Guys, I am trying to install win XP using a bootable USB on my PC which is currently running win 10 (Pirated of course). I've created Bootable USB using rufus 2.3 then when I reeboted the system the message which I expected was not displayed:

Press any key to boot from USB...

So, what to do? I have already changed the boot priority in the BIOS menu, That isn't helping :(

Any suggestions?

With all due respect, why would you want to install Windows XP when Microsoft pulled out its support last year April? You cannot even run Office 2013 on it.?

I like C++ programming. So, I suppose XP is the best OS (from windows) for programming. So I thought to downgrade.

As per my experience, you can't install the lower version when Windows 10 is in place.

@Shady2: You have to reformat the drive, have the install ISO, and a valid Windows-XP product license key. Keep in mind - we do not assist with bypassing licensing requirements. Any such requests can result in your Bytes.com account being suspended.

@madankarmukta: This is an old thread. OP has most likely already solved the issue.

@Adulu Miller: Could very well be that Shady2 is trying to install a legal copy of the Window-OS; thus, allowing a legal upgrade path.
