Delete original windows 7 and install windows xp?

[neil007]

my laptop came with widows 7 and i hate it and wish to load windows xp - how?

First, are Windows XP drivers available for all of the hardware? Chances are good that there aren't as XP support is winding down. No drivers = No XP

That is true 😀

What laptop make and model do you own?

In my experience XP drivers are still in abundance, my hardware includes a one year old Epsom printer/scanner, a Nvidia GTX 570, and a four month old logitech K360 keyboard.
I can honestly say that i have never, to this day had a problem finding XP drivers.
Im no expert but i'd say that you need to format your hard drive before installing XP from start, as i don't think Windows 7 would allow installation of a predecessor over itself. 😉

We are referring to motherboard drivers here, origamer, not external external devices like printers etc. or drivers for add-on video cards.
