• Is it possible to downgrade from Vista home to XP?

  Is it possible to downgrade to xp if my machine came with Vista? I lose what I have saved if I am able to do?

  Thank you in advance

  You will need to see if you can install XP (read below on the XP drivers).

  As you have Vista Home Edition, XP is NOT free.

  You will lose everything.

  Installation of XP instead of Vista:

  Come on first, site of the manufacturer of your computer, check to see if your model computer has XP drivers available for it...

  If the XP drivers are not available for your model, forget the idea.

  If Yes, download and save to a CD or Flash drive.

  Then buy a disc XP and license.

  Save all your data because it will be lost during the installation of XP.

  Then follow the steps below to do a clean install.

  http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_sg_clean.asp

  Once installed, reload ALL your other programs of original media, or download again.

  Reload all drivers and utilities for your motherboard.

  See you soon.

• Will I be possible to downgrade Windows 8 back in Windows 7?

  First of all, I apologize if I put this post in the section wrong forum.

  I am currently running Windows 7 Ultimate x 64 on a desktop computer.

  I tried Windows 8 Preview Release on my friend's cell phone, and I enjoyed some of its parts, but disagree with a lot of it.
  But, since this will be a more modern operating system, I'm always thinking about Windows 8 Pro.
  Let's say I didn't like it. Would I be able to downgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate?
  And I know that sometimes material important for stuff like this, so here is some information on my computer.

  OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit SP1

  CPU: Intel Pentium E6600 @ 3.06GHz

  Wolfdale 45nm technology

  RAM: 3.00 GB Dual - Channel DDR3 @ 532 MHz (7-7-7-20)

  Motherboard: eMachines EL1852G (CPU 1)

  Hard drive: 932GB Seagate ST31000524AS device ATA (SATA)

  Hello

  Unfortunately, there is no option to downgrade, and applies to all Windows operating systems. You will need to do a fresh install (custom) to return to Windows 7 and of course you need your Windows 7 installation disc to do this.

  If you perform a custom installation and do not format the drive, you will need to reinstall all your programs, but you will still be able to recover your files.

• Is it possible to downgrade Satellite U300 from Vista to XP?

  Is it possible to downgrade a Toshiba Satellite U300 from Vista to XP?
  No matter what guide available on how do?

  I tried to install with a standard XP installation disc, he couldn't even find the drive and refused to start the installation.

  I recently bought this laptop with Vista and was really looking for an XP model avoid all the problems of Vista, but it turns out its almost impossible to find one - have all of Vista.

  I am disgusted with all computer laptop-manufacturers, who are now offering an OS that is not yet ready for the general public, the guard you kicked in the teeth
  and waste your time as m and d, try to find solutions and work around the problems most ridiculous & pointless.

  Virtual PC XP Vista initially seemed to solve a lot of problems, but after a few days, unfortunately, the performance of the virtual machine has deteriorated seriously, I don't know why.

  OK - still happy if someone here can answer the original questions?

  Published by: ADMIN

  Of course, you can install WXP on U300 and you can do this by using the facilities of Microsoft CD. Is very important to have the Storage Manager. This utility is needed to proceedings WXP facilities for the recognition of the HARD drive. You can save it on the floppy drive and import it using the F6 key at startup of installations of Windows XP Home edition.

  Visit the Toshiba support under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com page > support & downloads. There you can find all the drivers of Windows XP Home for U300. at the first checkpoint Installations Instructions document and use this list for installing drivers, tools and utilities. Follow the exact order of installations.

  Bye and good luck!

• Downgrading from Vista to Windows XP Home in Satellite P200-16 b

  Hi people!

  Hello

  I used the search option and found many threads on the downgrade from Vista to XP on Satellite P200 PSPB0E

  All Toshiba drivers are published on the European driver Toshiba page.
  Of course, you won't find additional software and programs like WinDVD, etc. insofar as these software are only a part of the Toshiba recovery image and as I guess are not to free them.

  An important note; you need to install XP drivers as mentioned in the installation instructions txt file. This doc is also found on the Toshiba driver page!

  Then you should not get any trouble of installation.

  Best regards and happy new year 2008 :D

  If I decide to buy the new computer portable 64-bit with windows 7 pro

  its possible to install windows xp pro sp3 on the same computer anf if his race I could run the software who need no more 32-bit
  I still don't understand the difference between 64 and 32 bit it's just related to hardware windows or type of question

  You could install XP in a situation of dual boot, but with Win7 Pro, business, or ultimate edition, you can use the XP virtual machine. See this OE for an explanation.

If this is not the case, how it would be difficult to downgrade from Vista? Is there a risk of bricking my laptop? could u do a list of things that I would need and a guide step by step on how downgrade but remembering I'm not a computer very know how nobody so keep it very basic =)
  Also - what is void your warranty? I would be able to send my laptop for toshiba and they do?

  Take advantage of my wall of text

  Hello!

  Downgrade from Vista to XP isn't very difficult and it should be possible that you can do yourself.

  You need at least one drive in Microsoft Windows XP with SP2. Boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen. But you need the SATA drivers, the computer can recognize the HARD drive. For drivers, you need Intel Storage Manager, which can be downloaded on the site of Toshiba and this is workaround step by step how to do this:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD9401AN0000R01.htm

  If you have installed XP, you must install all the drivers and tools for this. All what you need you can find on the Toshiba site:

  Also, if I do not need to register with Mircosoft XP, where can I get the registration key of?

  Greatly forward a response.

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  A downgrade from Vista to XP is possible. Why not?
  But as far as I know, so you need to reinstall the full specifications but in my opinion, this isn't a problem because you have the XP Recovery disk. Just boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen.

  But before that, you you should burn the Windows Vista recovery disk. How do you know this? You need to start only the Toshiba recovery disc creator and you need a blank DVD. Then the Vista recovery disk will be created, and if you want new Vista, you must start only on this disc. That s all because it contains the settings factory and if all the drivers and tools of Toshiba.

  If you have installed XP you must register it on Microsoft. It is not necessary.
  AFAIK, you must enter a product key. It of already on the recovery disk.
