I know how to downgrade OS and I want to downgrade since Vista sucks
Anyway i want to downgrade but I don't want to lose data
How can i not lose data when i downgrade the OS?Changing Operating System w/o losing data?
Backup, or copy all your data files onto a CD/DVD or external hard drive or flash drive!Changing Operating System w/o losing data?
Move the information to a new partition on your hard drive. Then when you change the OS, just format the partition without your information and install.Changing Operating System w/o losing data?
Here's a cool way to do just that:
1. Move everything you want to save into a folder on the c:\ root eg. c:\saved files
2. Download an Ubuntu Linux live CD/install CD. This will allow you to boot to Linux from the CD. Once loaded load your hard drive and delete everything on the drive except c:\saved files. Reboot
3. Load the Windows XP cd. It might tell you that there is already a version of windows installed but continue anyways. DO NOT REFORMAT. You should be able to install on the existing partition.
4. Once done you'll be running XP and c:\savefiles will still be there.

How do I Change from Vista to XP?
Is it easy to change my operating system from Vista to XP?How do I Change from Vista to XP?
having just done the change it is easy.just backup everything you need to keep to disc or external hard drive. as for the comments from the gentleman about vista. what the customer wanted was a small compact working os not atank and resource hog. vista is on par with millenium. windows 7 is more stable now at milestone 3 than vista with sp2 in.it tells you somthing though xp has been around for 7 years and will be supported until 2012. vista has only been around for 18 months and microsoft are replacing it. WHY/How do I Change from Vista to XP?
DESTROY VISTA PLEASE%26lt; WORST OS EVER MADE TO DATEHow do I Change from Vista to XP?
If you have a genuine xp disc, back everything up onto an external hard drive or some other form of external media, and pop the disc in, and install xp.
Otherwise go buy an xp disc :)How do I Change from Vista to XP?
Its easy. You can either download XP from the official Microsoft website or install it using an original XP CD. However, it is not a very bright idea to replace Vista because it is useful once you know its features. If you do not use your computer's performance to the max, then XP is probably a better optionHow do I Change from Vista to XP?
why install an out dated os vista is far better than xp and yes you will have problems after down grading
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,228How do I Change from Vista to XP?
Isn't it funny how some companies can't win? Microsoft followed Customer feedback and US Legislation to create Vista, and now all of a sudden, their Customer base are screaming at them for doing what they wanted! %26gt;SIGH%26lt;
In any case, almost without exception, every single complaint and objection to Vista was also raised when XP was introduced! (And, I can give a 100% guarantee that they will be heard after Windows 7's official launch! After all, it's not Microslut's fault your 15 year old printer no longer works, it's the printer manufacturer's way of forcing you to buy their newest product, since they do have the new OS drivers for it!)
In any case...
Now, depending on several possible circumstances, switching back to XP could technically be verboton on your computer. (Involving OEMs and upgrades.) But, I will presume that it is not the issue. Insert an XP OS disk (you can buy one with a new license for about $300-$400 in most stores, and as little as $25-$50 if you don't mind violating the law. From the right on-line stores, you can probably find a legal copy of XP Pro for about $100.)
Next, insert disk in drive, and follow the instructions to FORMAT your HDD.
Good Luck!How do I Change from Vista to XP?
if you have a sata hard drive all new vista laptops have this its imposable to install xp on a sata hard drive.
all other hard drives you can.
but you will have a lot of problems so stay with vista.
vista is fine.

Even without buying and installing the french version of office, you can still add the fench dictionary and grammar checker from you english version CD. It will then normally recognise which language you're writing something in and check it accordingly.

How to remove or change default operating system?
I'll keep this simple, let me know if you need more detail. I loaned a friend my laptop, Compaq Presario V2000. It had Windows XP Home on it. This dumb @*%26amp; installed a registered copy of Windows Vista in addition to the XP.
Now, since this Vista was already registered, Microsoft has shut down both computers and he gives me my laptop back!!!
How can I remove the Vista, or, change to XP as the default because now, it opens with Vista, and tells me to register it. I can't register it, so my laptop is useless.
Can anyone help me?How to remove or change default operating system?
If you have your XP CD just put that in your CD Rom if you don't have it then you could buy it
Good luck!
Btw don't give your friend a tech item again.. he should be ashamed! lolHow to remove or change default operating system?
Well unfortunately your xp is gone because he upgraded it, so you'll have to perform a fresh install of xp from your cd. Here's a tutorial:
http://www.hollandpcservice.com/forum/shHow to remove or change default operating system?
What I would do is go by a new hard drive and Then install XP fresh on that hard drive
It would be easy and less work.
You would still have to go to the website for HP and get the driversHow to remove or change default operating system?

How to change computer operating system from 32 Bits to 64 Bits?
I bought a new computer and I just installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 onto it (free from microsoft.com).
My computer is capable of running 64 bits however i do not know how to do this, does the monitor affect if you can change it from 32 bits to 64 bits?
does 1gb of video memory require 64 bits to run?
does 4gb ram also require 64 bits to run?
those were my 3 questions and here is a simple idea of what my computer is like:
4GB RAM
NIVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT (at the moment it says VGA memory 512mb)
CPU: AMD Atholon (tm) 64 X2 dual core 2.7 GHz (i have 2 CPUs)
COMPUTER: ACPI x64 based PC
MONITOR: Generic PnP Monitor (My monitor is old and crap until i buy a new one soon)
HARD DRIVE: 500gb S.A.T.AHow to change computer operating system from 32 Bits to 64 Bits?
You can run more than 1GB of video memory on a 32 bit operating system, but you cant run much more than 3gb of ram.
no, the monitor has no effect on that at all.
To get 64 bit, you have to buy a 64 bit version of windows, or if you have a copy that says it has both, you have to do a fresh install of the operating system, and when it asks if you want x86 (32 bit) or x64 (64 bit) you choose the x64.How to change computer operating system from 32 Bits to 64 Bits?
32 bit color is the best you can get. That has nothing to do with the bits of the operating system.
And yes, your videocard is a 512mb card, but you have another 1700 or so in virtual memory from your ram.
you'll need to install Windows-7 64-bit version.
if your processor supports 64-bit, everything else will workHow to change computer operating system from 32 Bits to 64 Bits?
you will need to install a 64 bit operating system. To do this, you will need a copy of the 64 bit version of whichever operating system you are installing (for example I am installing Vista 64 bit tonight onto a computer I am building.
The monitor should not affect the change.
The amount of RAM that is used is dependant on the operating system. a 32 bit system will only recognize 3.5 to 4 gigs of ram (even if you have 8 gigs installed onto your mother board. A 64 bit system can handle much more ram, though most current motherboards max out at either 8 or 16 gigs of ram (which is overkill anyway. Unless you are a hard core graphics designer you will never need that much RAM, even 8 gigs starts to put you going %26quot;above and beyond%26quot;.How to change computer operating system from 32 Bits to 64 Bits?

I have a computer that runs in Spanish and I want to change it to English, how do I do that?
I believe that the system was set up in Spanish. When I download updates I always ask for English, but it comes up in Spanish. I have looked at the options button in the task bar and it says it's in English, but it isn't!? Is there any way I can change the operating system to English without loosing all my programs and info?I have a computer that runs in Spanish and I want to change it to English, how do I do that?

there is an option in your computer (depending on what kind of computer u have) that changes the language on many things that includes downloads. you can change it by either changeing the language settings on your computer, inserting the language operating disks that usually come with your computer (might/might not have), or refresh your system therefore resetting your settings on your computer.
