Last fall, I purchased a new Gateway all in one 23" computer, one of the last made with Windows 7. I then found out some of my clients' software is still running XP Pro, and isn't compatible with 7. Plus, my own preference is still XP. In order to get my work done, I had to revert back to my old computer with XP Pro.
That leaves my new computer basically a $600 paperweight. I checked with an independent computer service company, and the fellow said it was possible to uninstall Windows 7 and install XP Pro, providing I could get the XP software, as MS doesn't sell it anymore.
Amazon and ebay show new unopened copies of the XP Pro software at nominal prices, depending on the seller.
My question is, is it really as simple as going to the control panel on the computer, and uninstalling 7 and installing XP? Would it affect any of the other programs I already have installed? I copied recovery discs, so I could actually put the computer back to the way it came out of the box and then switch systems.
