Have gone off-grid and must now use laptops-Can I validate my legitimate copy of XP home by using another computer?

Hi. I am off grid with no telephone, and must use laptops rather than desktops. I have wireless internet. I wish to use an older laptop with XP home. It does not seem possible to use wireless internet with XP. Probably wireless internet wasn't thought of when XP was released. I do not require internet on this unit, but I need to validate the copy of XP home that I have installed on it. I own three legitimate copies of XP home which I had running on desktops until i had mains power disconnected. I would like to use one of these copies of XP home on this older laptop, but as I can't access the internet with it, I cannot validate by the usual means. Is it possible that I can acquire the validation by email via one of my other laptops (which both run Win 10 and are both using wifi to a wireless modem).

Thanks.
