The unfortunate thing is it can pre-loaded with vista, meaning i have important software I cannot load on i now. Does anyone have information how i can downgrade my VGN-N21E to XP? I have the XP pro cd, but vey little computer knowledge with regards to drivers etc. Sorry i'm a bit of a laptop idiot.<BR />Cheers,<BR />JB<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 31 May 2007 12:33:46 GMT https://community.sony.si/t5/pcs-accessories/vista-to-xp-on-vgn-n21e/m-p/91355#M75703 jbev 2007-05-31T12:33:46Z https://community.sony.si/t5/pcs-accessories/vista-to-xp-on-vgn-n21e/m-p/91360#M75704 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi JB and welcome to Club Vaio.<BR /><BR />It is not straightforward and there have been some problems doing this with the N21-Series Vaios.<BR /><BR />Have a look through <A href="http://club.vaio.sony.co.uk/clubvaio/GB/en/forum/viewthread?thread=41647" target="_blank">THIS RECENT THREAD</A> by costasp - it is for the AR31M Vaio but the process will be similar.<BR /><BR />You will need to use the N11S-series XP Drivers and XP Utilities from <A href="http://support.vaio.sony.co.uk/downloads/select/select.asp?site=voe_en_GB_cons&amp;category=0&amp;serie=VGN-N&amp;m=2392" target="_blank">Sony Vaio-Link Downloads</A> <BR /><BR /> <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.si/html/@13A2E6A3774A8B47B4EC6F04089539E1/images/smilies/063.png" alt=":thinking:" title=":thinking:" /><BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 31 May 2007 13:04:42 GMT https://community.sony.si/t5/pcs-accessories/vista-to-xp-on-vgn-n21e/m-p/91360#M75704 Blencogo 2007-05-31T13:04:42Z
