Windows 8 to Windows XP

[antisethrogen]

Hi,

I have an Acer Aspire V5 571-6471 laptop with Windows 8 64-bit, and I would like to downgrade to Windows XP. Will the drivers listed in the link below work for Windows XP?

no they will not, and you should not do that. If you don't like windows 8, then go to windows 7. Or you can move to linux. Going to windows XP is not an option anymore really, unless your machine will not run vista/7/8.

Thanks, wolfeking. What a bummer. I guess I’ll have to settle for Windows 7.

Why do you not like Win 8?

Windows 8 is nice and I like it but I did miss a traditional desktop while using it.

You can modify the gui to make it the same as Win 7.
