Install Windows XP on a Windows 7 operating system?

One of my friends has installed windows 7 on my computer recently, but now my computer is telling me it is not authentic and that I might be a victim of software counterfeiting. To resolve this problem, I am trying to install windows xp on my computer instead because I can't afford to buy windows 7 and I already had a copy unused windows xp installation. So, I put the installation disc in and install it in a hurry, but he told me that there are compatibility issues because my operating system is newer than the one I am trying to install. I thought I could delete just somehow the windows operating system 7 and then install the xp system. But I can't find all the information on how to do this or if this is even possible. Is could someone please tell me how I can get this to work so that I no longer have the version infringed on my computer? Thanks for the help! :)

  • Do not open programs after installing Windows update operating system Windows Vista

    Original title: MS Office programs do not open after installation of Windows update to Windows Vista operating system

    After having decided to install the Windows Update my computer told me was available all my software as my programs MS Offfice is no longer open.  I don't know what to do.  The only thing that still works is the Windows Media Player.  I can't open Word or Excel, I can't access my photos.  Open Internet Explorer is like a weird nightmare but I am able to access the Internet.  I tried reinstalling my MS Office software, which did not work.  I have no idea what to do to solve the problem, but I need my computer back. It was good except for its slow, when I open certain programs, now I can't access something.  Any ideas what I should do to correct the nightmare?

  • Re: Serial number down would work with the other Windows Vista operating system

    First of all sorry for my English.
    I have one question.

    My hard drive is broken with my recovery partition.
    If I download windows vista and install the system with my original serial number on the laptop, this will work or should I activate it after installation.

    I hope it's the same number that the front is installed on my first installation.

    Hello Marcin

    I doubt that the serial number that is placed at the bottom of the device works with another Windows Vista operating system. But it s worth a try
    You could test it I heard it's very rare cases it was possible

    In any case, if your HARD disk is damaged and it of not possible to create a recovery DVD using recovery software Toshiba disc creator, then you must contact the ASP in your country for assistance.

    If the warranty is valid the HARD drive should be replaced just for free. If you need only the recovery DVDs, then you can order it here:

    My Windows 7 operating system has just decided he wasn't more "authentic." I thought I fixed it, but he came back. I have to do a system repair/restore/etc?  Should I still worry about this or the police will come knocking at my door?

    Looks like you used a disc at retail to install with the OEM SLP key. An OEM SLP key works with your media recovery of manufacturers. (an OEM SLP key can be activated by normal means).

    the simple solution is to change your product key to the one on your COA.
    EDIT: Oops. must have been click Start, type slui 3, press on enter

    Additional information:

    Computers, which are built by large manufacturers provided with pre-installed Windows are supplied with 2 two product keys:

    OEM SLP: This key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with the special instructions isn't on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows 7 key leans on the motherboard and he sees special instructions and activates. (that's why you had no need to turn on your computer after you brought it home)

    COA SLP: it's the product key that you see on the sticker on the side (or at the bottom, [or in the battery compartment]) of your computer. It is a valid product key, but must be used only in certain situations (for example, if the OEM SLP key stops automatic activation for a reason any). The key must be activated by phone. (Note: all manufacturers that use the SLP OEM system are bound by contract to include a certificate of Authenticity sticker (COA), which has a COA SLP key, on the computer)
