    The only way to downgrade an OS is to reformat and reinstall using the original media and Key.

    Contact yur manufacturer and see if they have a set of Recovery disks for the machine.

    The only way to downgrade an OS is to reformat and reinstall using Full Retail Media and Key. (Unless you have access to Colume license media and Key)
