I bought my PC with Windows XP Home on it and want to revert back to it from Vista however I don’t have the XP disk…. Can I do this? And if so, how do I do this. I am told XP is faster than Vista which seems to drag at times. Can anyone assist?

Are you looking to re-install from scratch or preserve all the programs you have already installed?

XP in lots of things is up to 50% faster than Vista, around 25% faster in games than Vista as well.

If you need an XP disk I can sort you out mate, just txt me and its yours, dead easy will take you about an hour.

i've just read his Google Chrome thread and he's said his PC is slow so i can see that Vista will just eat every last bit of ram his pc has and therefore stop being a pc and more of a paper weight  Cheesy
