Is it possible to change the Operating System on my netbook?

I have Windows 7 Starter, which is a rip off, but I have my old Windows XP. Would it hurt my computer or harm it in any way? [I bought an external drive for CD's, so would that affect it either?] If it's ok, how do I install it correctly. Reliable websites are also appreciated.Is it possible to change the Operating System on my netbook?
I'm going to be honest with you. When you un-install Windows 7 and download Windows XP you're going to discover that you'll also have to download all of the XP updates, to include SP1, SP2 and SP3. This will take hours and hours to do.



I really would suggest you not do it. There are several security advantages that Windows 7 has over XP and, as you are using a netbook (used mostly for the internet) you'll really need this added security for web browsing.



It would be better if you were to upgrade your Windows 7 Starter.
