Title: Can going from Vista Home Premium OEM to XP Professional Retail void Warrenty?
Post by: neelchauhan on October 03, 2009, 01:53:01 PM

Vista got worse now than back in 2006 when I tried the Beta2 release. Home Premium makes me more unproductive. XP Professional supports some features I will need. I may lose DVD maker and making HD videos but I am ok without making HD or 16:9 videos untill I get another system. I will also get a preformance gain.
PS: The XP copy is retail. If my PC fails, I can send it in and reinstall it with XP professional.
Worth the downgrade?

Contact the manuf.

And make sure beforehand that XP drivers are available for all components...especially the MBoard chipset drivers.
