Answer #1

Lol, I assume you are referring to the operating system. Yes, you can go to an earlier version of an OS by buying a license for the older software. They still sell certain versions of XP.

Answer #2

If you are talking about downgrading from Vista to XP like I suggested in your earlier question than you will need XP media and you will need to contact microsoft to exchange your Vista license for an XP license. If you own a legal copy of Vista you have the right to downgrade to earlier versions of Windows. You also may be able to get XP media and key from the vendor who sold you your laptop. Call them and tell you what you are doing and they may be able to guide you.

Once you have XP media you will basically wipe out what you already have and reinstall from scratch. If you aren’t technically confident enough to do a complete OS, applicaiton, and data install than you might need to get a friend help.
