In the new Computers Can you Install Windows XP Over top of Vista --If you rather have XP ??? I would really like to give Vista a chance, but I just hear so much about the errors and issues going on with it. Any news on new service packs or updates to fix any of the issues?
Hi Cysteele,
You cant just install XP over Vista even when doing a clean install, You MUST format the drive first or all the files and settings will still be present on the hard-drive causing problems.
Vista Service Pack 1 was released two months ago if you don't already have it also the "issues" you have heard are just specific problems for some users, Everyone else has no problems with it, only a small minority of users so I dont know why you want to downgrade to an OS over 10 years old.
