I have a Nikon slide scanner (very high quality) for which the software has not been updated. It last ran on WinXP SP3 and I was not able to get it to run under Win 7 and certainly not Win 10.

Anyone know where I can obtain images of this old OS to run in CentOS 7 under kvm?

Even if the Windows XP was running in a VM, you would need to have the underlying OS able to 'recognize' the device somewhat to pass it to the VM. That can take enough work that you will find it easier to buy off of ebay someone selling a laptop or computer from that era and run Windows XP native.
