  I do not like vista and want to install windows xp on my computer. How to uninstall vista?

  Hello RandyMeese,

  There is no need to uninstall Windows Vista. Just install Windows XP and Vista will be overwritten. For more details on installing XP from scratch, see this link from my Web site: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org/how_do_i_install_windows_xp.htm

  If your PC is preloaded with Vista make sure that XP drivers are available for your machine before trying to install Windows XP. You can find out if XP drivers are available for your hardware of visiiting the your PC manufacturer's Web site.

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

• How can I uninstall windows Vista Basic OS and reinstall XP OS

  How to uninstall Windows Vista operating system to a new emachine EL1300G. I want to reinstall an XP operating system. These computers were sold once with the XP operating system and drivers are available.
  I tried to reboot it with the XP cd, but the message I get is that this program is blocked due to compatibility issues. Implementation cannot continue because the version of windows on your computer is newer than the version on the CD.

• How to uninstall windows vista or reformat the c drive

  How to uninstall windows vista or reformat the c drive?

  Hello

  You do not uninstall Vista as such.

  Vista cannot uninstall itself by Vista, formatting the drive that is installed on. In other words it cannot remove itself.

  You install another operating system, removal of Vista during the installation process of the other operating system...

  You don't say exactly what you are trying to do.

  You can format a disk if it a second drive with the Dual Boot operating systems and leaves without data or the operating system on it at all.

  We need more information.

• How can I uninstall windows vista if it is not authentic

  How to uninstall windows vista if it is not authentic

  Hello

  You do not uninstall as such.

  You would normally buy a legitimate operating system disk / license and do a clean install with it, by removing the non-genuine Vista during the installation process.

  Or you can download this program (Darik Boot and Nuke) > make a Bootable Disk with him > Boot and wipe the hard drive of everything:

  http://www.DBAN.org/

  You can buy a legitimate operating system if you want to continue to use this computer.

  You cannot uninstall a running operating system.  The best you can do is wipe the hard drive and start over, but which will also remove all programs and documents.

• Uninstall windows vista service pack 1

  I think I have many unnecessary files on my computer, I need to find another to erase it in place... probably there is my computer is so slow

  Restore the default settings.

  Install SP1 manually.

  Install SP2 manually.

  Update the post SP2 updates.

  Check the updated drivers for your hardware devices on the websites of manufacturers.  Everything install you can (chipset motherboard, audio, video, network, etc.).

  Install your applications.

  Update your applications.

  Restore your data (documents, photos, music, Favorites, email, etc.) since your last recognized reliable backup.

  No, this is not the reason. How much junk you have, or even what
  they are, does not slow down you did. What slows you down, that's what you have
  running, not what you have.

• Windows Vista Home Basic Edition has been reinstalled and I would like to uninstall it

  I would like to uninstall windows vista. We have now old windows with all our files on it and windows with nothing on it. I would uninstall the last installation and simply go back to the old. It's on a lenovo. It's my friends computer.

  Hi, Cheryl l.,

  Your system must have a Windows CD.  Insert the CD and restart your system.  When the press and the button to start the CD-ROM appears, press on and keys.  Install a new copy of Windows.

  Thank you for using answers Forum. Please let us know how it works.

  Hello KurtHansel,

  1. do you have dual boot at startup options when you try to start?

  2. are you still able to boot to the old version of Windows Vista that is installed on the C drive?

  3. What do you mean exactly when you say that you want to uninstall?

  If you have installed Windows on another drive, you will have a dual-boot option. You can uninstall Vista by reformatting the drive. You can refer the link that will give you information about this below:

  Go to your retail store, they should have the disk recovery for you or you need to go to your manufacturer directly because the manufacturer is best qualified to support the software that the manufacturer has installed on the hardware, provide your serial number and order the CD on their part. I bet they arrange an expedition to the France and tax treatment for it, but should not be too much.

  Note: The manufacturer was required to provide a way to reinstall Windows. If it is not a set of disks with the computer, there will be a hidden restore partition (do not be confused with the system restore), you would use to return the computer to the State of the OOBE (Out of Box Experience).

• Upgrade to windows vista home to windows vista ultmate ssystem

  I jutst a windows ultimate vista upgrade software. I opened the package and now find one of two dvd upgrade for 32-bit and one for 64-bit. Now, I'm totally confused about this installation process. Help!

  Click Start > right click on computer > properties > system > it will tell you if you have Vista 32-bit or 64-bit installed.

  Unless you specifically ask for Vista 64 bit, it normally has 32-bit version of Vista installed by the computer manufacturer.

  If the installed Vista 32 bits, use the Ultimate Upgrade 32 bit DVD.

  You upgrade from the version of Vista installed > get it operational > insert the upgrade DVD into the DVD drive > follow the instructions.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  And read this info below on installed Service Packs:

  On your installed operating system Service Pack level cannot be greater than what is on the disk to upgrade.

  Click Start > right click on computer > properties > system > it will tell you which SP you have install.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/948537

  "How to uninstall Windows Vista service packs"

  If the OS installed Service Pack 2 and Service Pack 1 update > uninstall SP2 from Home Premium > install the upgrade > reinstall SP2.

  And run the upgrade of a family race Premium.

  32-bit to 64-bit and 64-bit to 32-bit is a clean install, not an upgrade, if you have different versions of ILO.

  See you soon.
