— quick, practical options that work without piracy (and that expand on what and began):

If a direct Internet activation or a local toll‑free help line isn’t possible, the supported, legal alternatives are (1) activate by telephone using the Product Activation Wizard and (2) temporarily get the PC online (smartphone tethering, a friend’s Wi‑Fi, or take the drive to another machine just long enough to activate). Telephone activation is handled by the Activation Wizard: it shows an Installation ID and a phone number (or automated path) and returns a Confirmation ID to enter into the wizard. Follow the phone option in the Activation Wizard to complete activation. (support.microsoft.com)

How to start the Activation Wizard (XP): run the Product Activation wizard or invoke it directly by running:

%systemroot%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a

Choose the telephone option, select the region shown, call the number displayed (if the displayed number isn’t toll‑free in your country, you can often call the listed number from a mobile/VoIP service), read the Installation ID to the automated system or agent, then enter the Confirmation ID it gives you. Microsoft publishes activation/phone guidance and regional contact lists. (support.microsoft.com)

Notes, cautions and fallbacks: some repair installs or missing components can break the activation dialog; restoring Internet Explorer components or running the wizard command above often fixes that so you can use the phone flow. Microsoft’s legacy product pages also note that assisted support for very old OS versions is limited, and Windows XP is past end‑of‑support (April 8, 2014) so long‑term use is insecure — consider upgrading or using a supported media OS for a device whose only job is movies/music. Avoid any registry hacks, key generators or “cracks” — they violate the license and risk malware. (learn.microsoft.com)

AFAIK you need at least an internet connection to activate your windows. There's no other way I'm afraid...

Or you could reformat again and disable the popup since you never use it for internet purpose...

What flagstar said is true. If you have no internet, yuo can purchase a modem and router and you can connect to the internet then you can set up your windows laptop/PC.
If you have a modema and router but cannot connect to the internet for some purpose. You can go to the networking forum and post, i will then go there and help you. Good luck. Here the networking forum
