I would like to go back to xp opperating system of my windows 7

The short answer is that you need to do an installation of Windows XP by booting from the XP CD and do a complete, 'new' install XP ofd. You must then install all the applications you want to use with it and all your user files (documents, photos, videos, music, & c).

It is a good guide to clean XP install. There are others.

  1. Depending on your needs, alternatives that removing Windows 7 - install XP system could better serve you:
  2. Run XP to 7's 'XP Mode '. Available only to users of Windows 7 Ultimate and professional.
  3. Launch XP 7 on a virtual machine. Usable by all using Sun Virtual Vox or VMware or similar.
  4. Set up a dual boot so that you can use a few times 7 and XP, others by starting the system that you need right here.

    I would like an option that reads 'check at startup' on when windows 7 checks the automatic updates. Some people still turn off their computers when you are not using it. And if they do not check to turn on, they will begin the navigation with an operating system up-to-date. This option exists? I have not found. Thank you

    If check you the Manager of tasks shortly after starting your computer (or restart), you will notice that automatic updates (WUAUCLT. (EXE) is "check-in" with the update servers!
