Tom Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Put all your documents on an external storage. Reformat drive. Insert XP disk. Unfortunately there isn't downgrading like their upgrading option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators mark1million Posted August 13, 2010 Moderators Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 HI, You can use windows 7 to repartition your existing drive, install windows XP to that new partition and you have a dual boot system keeping your existing os intact.

Moderators Kyle Posted August 13, 2010 Author Moderators Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 yep, but i had to download two drivers for Video Card and Sound and installed it with no problems and i had to install a program called EasyBCD to manage my boot up settings so i can select which OS to start, Windows 7 or XP. I;m going to compare them to see how it suits and see if it is good. What i am running on XP Professional is 2.40GHZ Intel Core 2 3 GB of RAm 254MB of video which it is running smoothly. Been a day installing the OS and getting everything out. Thanks to everyone who awnsered my questions today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennShadow Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Windows 7 will require more system resources than XP so you may notice some performance differences. I personally will not be going back to XP. I have 7 on my work system and it is great. It works wonder with Server 2008 in a domain enviroment but most don't have that setup at home. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Kyle Posted August 14, 2010 Author Moderators Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 I agree with you, Windows 7 is good for my FS2004. so i;m still thinking about it and i might stick with Windows 7 and i will need new drivers but first i have to get a new power supply so i can upgrade the system to fly good on FS2004. When i always land it always mess up my landings and my landing rate are not really good becasuse of the damn lags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
