I just bought a new PC and it has the Vista operating system. Well, I hate it. I tried to install my XP Professional and it wouldn't let me. What do I do?

purchase a homestead windows XP disk from a workstation save (many times around the £one hundred and fifty - £250 mark), boot up the workstation, insert the disk and it might want to boot by technique of the disk. then deploy it as both: a secondary OS (put in on the workstation alongside with Vista) or a first OS (Wipes Vista off and installs XP) wish this permits

First thin I would do is take it back and by the same model with XP in it! Why waste the money?

It's not so much downgrading as it is reinstalling. You'll probably need to reformat your drive and MBR, then reinstall XP.

You cannot do taht as Vista is a beta version. If it were a full version then may be there would be ways.
