Can Windows XP be installed on a laptop having Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit?

Question

I am planning to buy a laptop which has Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit. But I want to install Windows XP once I have purchased it. Can I do it? (I do have the XP installation disk)

Answer 1

Yes, however, you may need drivers for Windows XP in order for it to work.

Answer 2

Windows Vista may, in some cases, have problems running a dual boot type system. It may require running a virtual machine and then running XP. If all else fails.

Answer 3

um sure but when the partitioner starts make sure you select use the entire disk or something close to that dont make a partition in the drive because you will be storing vita and xp so make sure you select the use entire disk option

Answer 4

Yes you sure can. Many people do just that. Put the CD in the drive, boot from it and go.
