You'll need to ensure that your processor supports Virtualization for XP
Mode (many processors do NOT).

From Microsoft:

Windows XP Mode requires an additional 1 GB of RAM, an additional 15 GB
of available hard disk space, and a processor capable of hardware
virtualization with Intel VT or AMD-V turned on
