Vostro1510 hi,my laptop,s windows is vista i wanna chang it to xp i dont no how?help me mor

You can install xp on a vista laptop, you will need an xp install cd and you will need to backup your data (it will be erased in the downgrade process). As for the drivers, go to your laptops manufactures site. They will have a support section for your laptop model where you can see if there are drivers for xp. If you have the hardware that will support windows 7, I would go with that. Xp is slow and no longer supported by Microsoft as of April 2014, which poses a security risk. Windows 7 will be supported for a while and is faster and more stable than xp or vista.

Hi Anujpatiyal,

Please be informed that the manufacturer of this particular machine only released drivers for windows XP and Vista 32bit. You can go directly to this link for your reference.

Hope it may help you.

Thank you for using FixYa.

Hi there,

First thing, you must have the Windows XP/Vista Installer with you.

This CD will be the one you will use to reformat and install a fresh copy of windows OS on your Laptop.

Once you have this Windows Installer, put it on the Laptop CD Tray, and the rest will be easy for you.

A installing wizard will guide you to setup process.

Let me hear from you again for any clarification of your problem.

Thanks.

If you truely have Xp and Vista installed properly, you will see a dual-boot menu when the PC starts up... From there you would have the option to choose which operating system you wanted to start... Otherwise, if you dont see that menu, you still might have both OS installed but you would have to edit the master boot record...

windows xp will support 2gb
Wndows Vista is 4gb
