Need help about installing XP

Original Post

I've got a new laptop with genuine windows vista home edition installed. I have found that some of the softwares that I'll use aren't supported by Vista but by XP. I have got a XP 2005 installation cd( from nepal with serial key, but not genuine). I want to know can I run that XP 2005 OS in my laptop. How safe is it?

it is a new laptop...so don't mess with it doing so... your Terms and Conditions Must have said that you wont be installing operating system by yourself or such... your warranty will be void if u do so

If you communcate with your laptop manufacturer, they might provide windows XP instead of Vista software in nominal charge.

Never go for Vista. Microsoft had to release it with lots of loopholes and issues without fix cuz they were already lagging their time-line by 2 years.. This product is one of the worst in Microsoft history..

if you need XP so badly then just install it in another drive and make your loptop with dual booting. so that you switch either one of OS. but dont do automatic window update if you are using non genuine version.

By the way, If anyone wants to convert their duplicate XP into valid one, I can help you. (it is a minor twik of registry key of system... nothing need to install..). After that, your XP will be 100% valid, you can download any patches/updates/software from Microsoft.com (i.e. your system will passes online validity test from MS) ;-) Anyone needing help, message me.. I can not paste the trick here for some obvious reasons.. ty.

wow, I didn't know our Nepali brothers her in Sajha are smarter than Microsoft. Don't you think Microsoft has seen it all in the past how people crack their OS. Don't fall for this, it might work for a while ie until you need the recent updates. They'll eventually lock your computer if you keep enjoying updates with illegal copy. Person who claims he can do it, dude get an interview with them, you might get a job with the biggest software company. Damn bro, I didn't know we had such caliber of genius people from Nepal.
