    Gentlemen,

    I use my computer in a home network and I have a machine that we all use in the family for bakcups.  Also I need to send and receive faxes from older people that do not have Internet access.  I also like better the old interface of windows XP professional I had in my previous laptop.    

    In view of this I would like to know how to downgrade to Windows XP Professional, or eitheir how to download the windows sincronization or the briefcase for vista and also a windows fax program which were quitely removed from Windows Vista Home editions.

    Hopefully having a genuire copy of Windows Vista may have an advantage

    Thanks in advance for your kind help.


    Lilly

    Sorry, Unfortunately you do not have downgrade rights with Home Basic. Downgrade right are only included with Buisiness, Enterprise, and Ultimate.
