I have a new laptop, with Windows Vista pre-loaded. But I am familiar with Windows XP, and don't want to have to learn a new system. Could I load XP on the laptop, how difficult would it be, and are there any risks? I am not a very skilled computer user, and am afraid of messing up.Can I change Windows Vista to XP?
best to get used to vista, it's very complex to change back.Can I change Windows Vista to XP?
you will have a lot of problems this is from hp and most manufactures have the same please read
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/docum
you would have to reformat the computer's hard drive and then install windows XP.
HOWEVER there will be major problems when attempting this. for one think windows XP can only support one processor, if your processor has more then one processor core, then the rest will be inactive. Also there many people why try to downgrade to xp, fail to check that there hardware has any xp drivers. If xp drivers existed for the laptop's hard-drive, then they would work. BUT if there are no xp drivers, then that hardware that the driver was for will not work.
This problem is common epically for wireless network driver and some laptop-only hardware, I have seen many people who downgrade to xp lose support for wireless networking. Also seen people lose support for webcam and card readers. In some rare cases possibly the cd drive, sound card, and advance graphic abilities.
Then there is the security, because windows didn't start introducing their security setting to default until vista came out, your computer will be much more vulnerable to virus attacks then vista ever was.
Yes, it is possible, but I don't know why you would want to. Vista is really superior to XP, a
(1) yes you can remove Vista and install XP. However your PC is licensed for Vista, so you'd need to buy an OEM copy of XP (if you can still get them...) to be legitimate.
(2) How difficult? It's not very difficult, you format the disk in the PC and follow the instructions when you boot the XP CD. At fastest it's probably 2-4 hours work depending on your PC's speed and memory.
(3) Are there any risks? Of course there are. Firstly, can you get XP legally at all? Secondly can you get XP drivers for all of the peripherals in your PC - for instance the video card driver, the sound card driver, the USB bridge driver etc etc. If you can't get a driver then you either lose access to a feature or can only use it at reduced capability. Thirdly, this is a destructive opertation. If you get it wrong you have wiped your new laptop out and have no OS on the laptop.
So, in summary... it's fairly easy provided you check beforehand and get the drivers onto a CD disk or a USB stick drive. But if you're not confident there *is* a risk to the process. It's a lot less risk if you leave the Vista restore partitiion / restore CD available so you can always go back to Vista if it all goes horribly wrong.
Alternatively, can you make vista look like XP? I have never used Vista, but I always make XP look like Win2k as it saves a lot of processing power.

I have window vista business in French language,How to Change Windows Vista from French to English ?
You will really need to buy an English version of Vista, format, and install
it. Any other resolution is partial.
There are two types of language files--and both are partial but either may
be what you're looking for. MUI available only in Vista Ultimate and
Enterprise are the most extensive--but LIP are available for any edition of
Vista. You may want to look into
these:
How do I get additional language files?
http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...b
If you have Enterprise or Ultimate you can look into MUI. But even if you
don't, you can download the LIP files, and see if they will do the job for
you.
LIP files can be downloaded from here:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=6
http://www.microsoft.com/industry/go...e
';';Because not all of the user interface is translated, LIPs require at least
one parent language. The parts of the user interface that are not translated
into the LIP language are displayed in the parent language. When you
download a LIP, you are given the parent language requirements for that
language. The parent language pack needs to be installed before the LIP can
be installed.';
If you do try either of them, let us know how they work for you.

How can I or can I change windows 7 64-bit to 32-bit ?
You unfortunately have to have the 32 bit install and reinstall from scratch. Due to changes in the components you cannot just modify your existing installation to be 32 bit.How can I or can I change windows 7 64-bit to 32-bit ?
Buy a windows 7 32 bit cdHow can I or can I change windows 7 64-bit to 32-bit ?
I think the installation DVD includes both versions. Or you could just look for 'windows 7 x86'
You need to reinstall it from the beginning. Hope you have Windows 7 64 bit DVD. Just insert it and follow the instructions.
The version which you have is 64 bit. The only way to change this by using the CD/DVD for 32 bit version.
You are correct that you cannot downgrade or upgrade 32bit to 64bit or 64bit to 32bit.
The simplest and safest setup would be to just format the drive and install the 32-bit version clean, but this would involve reinstalling all of your software.
Make sure that you check with the company techs to make sure that their software programs are compatible with Windows 7.
You can't ';change'; between 32-bit and 64-bit in either direction.
You'd have to reinstall 32-bit from scratch to make the transition. You might be able to use the Windows Easy Transfer Wizard to move over some things like settings however.

You can now fully access and write to the folder.
Good Luck!
PS: Read-Only folders can be deleted same as any other folder. You simply can not add to it. However, if it is saying you can not, you don't have sufficient access to do so. In short, you are not the SysAdmin, or not running an Admin account.

How do you change Windows FAT32 and convert your hard drives to NTSF.?
Just upgraded from Millenium to Windows XP but I would like to maximize older computer's speed. I know the Volume Serial # but what is the Label Name? I'm not sure what that meansHow do you change Windows FAT32 and convert your hard drives to NTSF.?
You should have a ';converter'; program in your ';system tools'; folder that can make the conversion.
The label name is ';What YOU Call it'; besides ';C:'; drive. Since my C: drive has only the OS, I labeled it ';Op-sys';, but you can leave it vacant by pressing ';enter';.
Just remember to CLOSE ALL running programs such as ';intellimouse';, etc. before running the converter, AND it is a ONE WAY operation that can NOT be reversed.
ALSO, YOU should make an ';external'; backup BEFORE doing the conversion, ';just in case';.How do you change Windows FAT32 and convert your hard drives to NTSF.?
The Label Name is whatever you choose to call your hard drive. It isn't important.
When you installed XP, you should have been given the option to format the drive to NTFS. If you just used an upgrade it may have skipped that stage all together.
Microsoft has this article regarding the convert.exe command:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtec
You have a problemXP won't work with Millenium, it is the only software I know of that is not compatable with all other Windows operating system, at least now. When you install Xp it asks you if you want to convert fat 32 files into NTFS and you do it then. Good luck.
Open Control Panel%26gt;%26gt;Administrative Tools%26gt;%26gt;Computer Management%26gt;%26gt;Disk Management%26gt;%26gt;Here u will see partitions
In FAT partitions right click on one of them then select Format.. (if menu is not visible the cause is ur page file is on it) so first remove page file creation on it. After that remove the drive.or format with NTFS(this is because NTFS uses different sector formatting algo than FAT32. but first take drive backup after do this..

Hi. i have windows xp and i want to change it to windows x home edition how can i change windows help!!How can i change windows?
Whether you have XP Pro, or XP Media Center Edition, both have everything XP Home has, plus some extra features that you may never use.
So, why do you want to downgrade to XP Home??? Please tell us what the real problem is, and if you want to avoid formatting the hard disk.
Maybe all you need to do is do a ';Clean Install'; of your current version of Windows, particularly if your PC seems slow or it does weird things.
