Downgrade Windows 7 Professional To Windows XP by DanG1(m): 5:40am On Feb 08, 2012 |
Good day guys, I recently bought a new Toshiba laptop, I bought it for the sake of installing some industrial programs on them but these programs are not supported by WINDOWS 7 and can work on WINDOWS XP But I couldn't find a laptop that came with WINDOWS XP, so I had to settle for the WINDOWS 7. But now I need to either downgrade to WINDOWS XP, or install a new WINDOWS XP, but I could find a genuine WINDOWS XP to buy as all outlet claims its not existing anymore. So please house does anyone has an advice on what method I can use and how I can do this. And also if anyone can do this for me, but I wouldn't like to have issues with it later on and I would not settle for a fake software. Thanks in anticipation of your humble response |

Depends on which version of windows 7 you have. If it's professional or ultimate, you can read up windows xp mode it allows you to run windows xp within windows 7. |

Thanks denzel for this. I have heard of this but you made it more clearer. My only fear is if it can run my industrial softwares without issues |

Dan-G:Any software that is compatible with windows xp sp3 will work. It's not different from your normal XP at all, just that it's virtualized in windows 7 It should look like this after the installation |
