The Lost Chord
Posts: 41 +0
Hi everyone! Again, I'm back for some tech help from the experts here at Techspot.
I have Windows Vista given me by Dell without my consent. My first Dell broke under warranty and they sent me a new PC with great specs, but it does not have XP. I have been using Vista for a while and I am finally beginning to crack. I ONLY use my PC for old stuff I have realised, old games, old programs etc. XP has always worked perfectly, but Vista has ran some problems here and there.
Here are my specs:
Dimension DXP061
Windows Vista Home Premium
Intel Core 2 CPU 6600 at 2.4 GHZ
2046 MB RAM
32 Bit Operating System
Now, I could reformat this bad boy and not shed a tear. All I care about on here are a few files and my music, which I have backed up on an external HDD.
So, what can I do? I have plenty of those Windows XP cds from my old Dell computers, will one of those work? Is it a hard process, should I have an expert run it through? Is it even possible?
Thanks for any help, much appreciated as always!
