First, you need to go out an buy a copy of Windows XP.I upgraded from windows XP to windows VISTA Home basicHe did upgraded from XP, he already has a XP
Then, you will need to find XP drivers. If you have an older machine, that should be relatively easy. If you have a newer Dell, it might be tough for some things. I have not kept track, Dell may be providing XP drivers for newer machines now.
As I said he received XP, so he may received a XP drivers CD..- "Find XP drivers" ???Last I checked they're available on this website in the lower left corner for all Dell models. See Drivers and Downloads. Since no computer model was listed we can't check to see the particular drivers available for the OP's computer.
- I did this last weekend and it's a pleasure to have a trouble-free OS again, in XP. My advice is: before you do anything go to the DRIVER & DOWNLOADS page by clicking the link over on the left here and down a bit. Download the network files on to a USB flash drive or CD. You will need these to get on the internet to download updates etc. I was lucky, I have a wireless laptop. Otherwise I'd have to have called on someone to get the files for me.

I share your Vista disappointment!
