As long as the computer meets the system requirements for Windows Vista, yes.
Microsoft Office can be installed on both Windows Vista and Windows XP operating systems. Microsoft Office 2013 will not install on Windows XP.
Yes
Sounds like a problem with Windows XP. What you should have tried to do is take the original hard drive, put in the xp install disk, to the install, choose to format the hard drive, and then continue with the XP install. BTW: XP > Vista. Linux > XP. You should install Linux, instead of XP.
There is no rollback way to do it. You would need to reinstall XP fresh over the Vista install. Why do you want to do that anyway, is Vista not working for you?
You have to create at least one more partition for Vista. If you install Vista on the partition where XP is installed Vista will delete XP. To avoid such problem you have to have one more partition. When you do that just start the Vista installation process from XP and choose just created partition for Vista.
No.
No
XP, if you can scratch Vista and go for Windows 7
I have MGI Photo Program on dicks, I had it on Windows XP. I Tried to install on my laptop, It has Windows Vista. Why won't it install on Vista
You can not simply downgrade to Windows XP from Windows Vista. If you want to completely remove Windows Vista in favor of XP, you will have to format the hard drive and reinstall the OS from scratch. Windows XP will not install on top of an existing Vista installation.
Use Windows Virtual Machine or VMWare.
The easiest way is to format the system partition and install Windows Xp and then Vista. If you install Xp after Vista you might have to edit BOOT.INI manually. I beleave Vista will not allow you installing Xp when it's runnning. So you need a bootable XP (and Vista Home) CD/DVD. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Actually it is possible to run both Windows XP and Windows Vista on the same computer but you will have to set up a Dual Boot setting up 2 partitions, formatting them to NTFS format, then installing XP on the first partition then Vista on the second.
