Is it possible to change the operating system of a Dell laptop (ubuntu, linux) to Windows XP, if so, how?

We bought a small Dell mini laptop online recently and it came with the Linux operating system, Ubuntu. Many know the limitations of programs not being compatible with Linux (Ubuntu), and this being the reason we would like to switch to Windows XP. Is it possible? If so, then please describe how. Thanks so much!Is it possible to change the operating system of a Dell laptop (ubuntu, linux) to Windows XP, if so, how?
In addition to the first two answers you may also want to make sure the laptop meets the minimum hardware requirements (CPU speed and RAM amount) for Windows XP, or the recommended hardware levels or above for optimal performance.



For the easiest installation you should format the hard drive before a clean installation of Windows XP. Make sure you backup any documents or data you want to keep to a flash drive or external hard drive before starting.Is it possible to change the operating system of a Dell laptop (ubuntu, linux) to Windows XP, if so, how?

1) Find XP drivers for all the hardware for XP on Dell's site. (If you can't, you're finished here.)



2) Buy XP (if you can find a legitimate copy for sale - if you don't buy a legitimate activation key, the installation stops working in 30 days) and install it.



3) Install all the drivers.Is it possible to change the operating system of a Dell laptop (ubuntu, linux) to Windows XP, if so, how?
Since Dell sells the mini with both winddws and linux I would suggest that you contact Dell and ask them for the best way to do the switch.

Good luck
