Also in theory your CD key will eventually fall foul of WGA / WPA if you try installing it on both machines, but then that also happens to people who have perfectly legal installations (Like me) so it's a bit indeterminate whether you should try buying a key, try buying another CD or just install it and wait for activation to force you to call Microsoft and buy a key  I really am beginning to wonder if MS haveopted for a kind of "Nigerian Scam" scenario whereby they "Spam" every legal system periodically in the hopes that lots of people fall for it and just pay If you format the drive no trouble, boot from the CD and just format it, of course you cannot save files / settings etc. The issues will be finding drivers that may not be included with XP, so you need to check the laptop maker's website for XP compatible drivers now, before you even start, get them onto a CD because you may not get networking back without them. You probably WILL invalidate your warranty, if you care about that then you have to be prepared to put Vista back and therefore need a copy of the original media or disk Partition it is on. What do you use the laptop for and does anything specifically have to me compatible with existing software you use? You could use another OS for most things except games which would basically cost you nothing at all except a download and a blank CD-R. |

No matter your windows system is XP, Win7, or Vista, the easiest way to speed up your PC, make it get rid of freezing up is have a PC cleaner in it; you can try the software "tuneup360". My friends and I all use it, it's seems really useful.
