Vista to XP???
Hey all,
Just wondering if I can uninstall Vista & Install XP on my daughters PC. We bought it for her maybe a year ago and she hates it. Will all of the hardware/ MOBO/ RAM /HD/ CDROM ect. work with XP? If so, what steps should I take to do this? Any help would be great. Thanks! |

First step is to see if you can find XP drivers for all of the parts.

Thanks Ezy,
Wouldn't those be on the XP disc? or would I have to search the manufacturers websites for drivers? Would I need a driver for the MOBO too or just the other hardware? |

Add a step between 4 and 5 - Update XP at Windows Update.
