Is there a way to uninstall Windows H8 and install XP?

Yes, but you are better off with Windows 7, if your computer is new enough. Find tutorials on Youtube.

Yes. A Microsoft spokesperson stated that "Windows XP can still be installed and activated after end of support on April 8[, 2014]".

You can use XP even after Microsoft stops supporting it.But if you don't want to use an unsupported operating system, have you looked toward any of the various GNU/Linux distributions? If you are just doing web and document management, there is no need for Microsoft products.

I have not found that, but after using the machine for a while, I completly stopped using it, because many things do not work well, and I hate windows 8.

I recently received a notice from Microsoft that Windows XP support will end. XP is compatible but will no longer be supported.

Hello, Yes, they have a legal copy of XP on the unit. We install Windows 7 on these units, but if you request it, we can re-install it with Windows XP Pro

Yes. It is a full standalone operating system that will replace xp. Download the newest version at linuxmint dot com and donate to the project if you like it!

Windows 8 Professional System Builder DVD 64-Bit will remove the Windows XP ..note this win 8 system builder package is not an upgrade package but a fresh install of the operating system.To save old files you would have to copy your items like pictures ,music and documents onto another drive and copy them back to the respective folders when you install the new operating system .If you are looking to upgrade you have to choose a different builder as this one does a fresh install.

I'm not sure I have windows XP it crashes my computer everytime I try to use the program. this purchase was a waste of money for me.

No. I tried. As far as I can tell it can't be done. BUT. All is not lost. Go to stardock dot com and buy a program called Start8. It installs a windows 7 style start menu and boots to the desktop by default. It gives you all the advantages of win 8 (and there are some, believe it or not) with none of the drawbacks. The program is like 5 bucks.

No. Windows 7, 8 and server editions. Not XP.Refer to: http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/productID.259322200?VID=259334800&pid;=AAA-01550&mr;:trackingCode=6EBE60EB-436A-E211-96D6-BC305

You probably could, not sure why you would. (XP support ended April 8th, 2014)I bet it would take some serious investigation looking into which manufacturers chips are on the board (I mean specifically -- realtek, marvell, intel, etc) and download them from their websites. Good luck. I wouldn't waste my time, but some might need it, or want to run Virtual Machine sessions.

I had this on XP and had problems. Now I have windows 7 and will be trying it on that soon. I hear windows 8 is a pain so I made sure to get 7 instead.
