I was wondering if anyone knew the exact steps of switching my pc from Vista to XP. Its a custom made PC that I installed Vista on, so its never run XP. I have an external hard drive that I can move any files I need onto. Link to comment https://forums.steam-gamers.net/topic/6937-switching-from-vista-to-xp/

Obviously you need to save your important files. Also make sure you have the cd's for all your software. I'm guessing you have a windows xp disk unless vista has some function which allows you to downgrade it.

You have to download them (drivers) & move them to a blank cd. Link to comment https://forums.steam-gamers.net/topic/6937-switching-from-vista-to-xp/#findComment-71339
