I was skeptical about IE 10 being available for XP, but I wanted to get it if I could. So I started Windows XP Mode – Windows Virtual PC, Started IE 8, and went to:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/internet-explorer-10-details.aspx
and got the message:
The latest version available for your system is already installed.
Although Internet Explorer 10 will not run on your system, you can download Internet Explorer 10 for other systems.
Clicking “Next” to download Internet Explorer 10 or use the navigation above to continue searching for downloads.
I also checked Microsoft Update, but the only thing there was
Update for Microsoft Security Essentials – 4.5.216.0 (KB2949787)
which I don’t plan to install.
