| Downgrading Vista to Win XP I have a VLK for Windows XP Pro, and need to install on new PC's coming with Vista installed. Can I downgrade the Vista OS back to XP and how? New PC's are coming with Vista, but we only want to have XP in the environment for now. Can I use the Win XP VLK to downgrade the Vista OS to install XP Pro on a box coming with a OEM Vista license?      |

| Re: Downgrading Vista to Win XP If you have an XP VLK you can install it on whatever PC you want. Just do a clean XP install. You won't get any downgrade options... simply boot your XP CD delete the vista partition and start a clean XP install.

| RE: Downgrading Vista to Win XP Check with the computer manufacturer to see if they support XP on their new Vista based computers. You might be short on XP drivers Other then that, follow the other posts!
