How do I change from windows Vista to windows XP?
You would have to reformat the hard-drive and then install the windows XP OS. However you MUST check that each hardware has a windows XP driver available for download. If the hardware does not a windows XP driver then it will not work in windows XP It will cost 100 to 200 dollars for a OEM disk. Also windows XP can only nativity support single core processors as windows XP can not use dual, tri, or quad core nativity, try to do so will cause windows XP to only use one processor core and the rest will not work. The only exception to this is windows XP profession that has support for two processors but no support for 3 and 4 core processors. UPDATE: try connect the computer to router via ethernet and update the router’s firmware. The router’s manufacturer should have instructions for this as well as the program for you to update the router’s firmware. Also your router’s manufacturer should have a support or faq section for there product for any problem.
Because this is considered by Microsoft to be a “downgrade”, there is no way to switch without repartioning and reformating you hard drive, which wipes everything off of it. You will need a copy of Windows XP, which Microsoft no longer sells. You will have to try to find at an online store that still has copies, or through a “used” site like e-bay. They usually run in the $100 to $150 range. Before purchasing XP, make sure that your computer is capable of running it. Many of the newest computer (especially laptops) have hardware that is NOT XP compatible, and you may lose you sound, decent graphics, and other things if you switch. Check the web site of your PC’s manufacturer to see if they have XP drivers available for your model. If not, you are “stuck” with Vista – XP will not run on your PC.
