so the topic of today's video is how to downgrade a copy of microsoft Windows 7
professional or Windows 7 ultimate so what downgrade means is that for the
first 18 months after october 22nd 2009
you are allowed to buy a copy of Windows 7 professional then what you do is you
call up microsoft customer service at 1-800-936-5700
basically what you say to them is okay i bought a copy of Windows 7 and i want to
use Windows xp for now so what you're able to do is you give them your Windows
7 product key which is on the back here and i'm not going to show you that too
carefully they read you out well first
of all they verify your Windows 7 product key then they read you back a
Windows xp product key then you just take any old Windows xp disk that you
can find you can even download an iso if you have a tech net subscription and
then you install Windows xp using that key when you're finally ready to go to
Windows 7 maybe your office is upgrading all at the same time or maybe you're
just not quite ready but you just want to buy Windows 7. so you have it for
later all you do is pop in your Windows 7 cd and install Windows 7. and that
will invalidate the Windows xp license that you were using temporarily thanks
