trouble reloading XP home after XP professional

[stylianou]

Hi all!

Many thanks to everyone for your help in the past. Could someone please take the time to talk me through reloading xp home on my pc as I'm running xp professional on there at the moment and want to downgrade to xp home.

Many thanks in advance.

Assuming that your XP Pro is licensed on the PC, where did the XP home come from? You may be creating some real problems for yourself.

So in theory after getting shut of a perfectly legitimate operating system to install an illegal one which obviously is useless because you can't activate to Microsoft you want our help to reinstall your legitimate one yes?

 

How do we know that's not pirate also?
