    Can i downgrade my laptop(acer aspire) from Window 7 to Windows XP Professional with SP3 VL or Multi OEM Windows XP Pro with OEMScan? Which is more prefer may i know?
    No need any key for activation from what i see from that thread.
    How do I update my driver from previous window? like wlan, graphic drivers.
    afraid that i could'nt connect to internet after downgrading.

    pardon me for my little knowledge on pc.
    Regards :)

    I would suggest you try and locate and download the correct drivers beforehand :confused:
    BTW, i would go OEM, but VL with host file modification should work as well

    OK Thanks :rolleyes:
    Windows XP Professional with SP3 VL seems hard to understand.
    And Multi OEM Windows XP Pro with OEMScan contains OEM for my laptop manufacturer which is Acer and it'll make window xp to genuine easily. So it'll be more preferable.
    I'll download & save the driver before formatting.

    Regards.
