My trying to replace my old Laptop with a new/use one. I'm trying to stick with XP too because my laptop has XP and a lot of sellers have Vista installed in it. I still have my OS XP disc for Dell laptops and a lot of sellers are selling Dell laptops with Vista installed. Anyways! The question is, if a seller is selling a laptop with Vista installed but I wanted to add XP in it and if the Dell site for Drivers Download has it down for XP, would that still be able to work?
If the laptop you buy has drivers for xp & is down for xp would that still work...I have a question for you don't you think you just answered your own question well xp ain't vista & it sure ain't windows 7 so that only leaves.......
regardless don't wipe vista without making a backup image first use macrium reflect (it's free)coz if you wipe the recovery partition & there's no reinstall disk supplied with vista on it you'll have no way to recover the lappy
If you don't even have a real windows XP disk, it is a bit early to begin wanting to downgrade a laptop to XP. You can get a decent win7x64 laptop for under $350...it will be new, under warranty, and most importantly, new (people tend to treat laptops pretty bad...buying a used one is always a gamble; even if it looks perfect).
