Default Downgrading to Win XP SP2
I have this notebook running Vista nad i want to downgrade it to Win XP SP2. I have check the compatibility issues and the notebook supports Win XP.

But from my understanding the only way to downgrade from Vista to Win XP is by reformatting. So my question now is if i reformat, those 3rd party software that came bundle with the Vista like WinDVD, am i able to install it to my Win XP? Where can i get the Win DVD setup files?

Hi Aries,

Is there any particular problem that you're wanting to go backwards in technology?

All that software should be downloadable from the Laptop manufacturer's website.
