| 1317658 | 2012-12-10 22:18:00 | I've got a few of these and want to put XP on one - Dell say the machine qualifies for an XP downgrade, but supplied no info whatsoever on the correct way to do this. Any ideas? Thanks. :) |

It sounded wrong to be but the general rule of thumb with MS licensing is call them 3 times and use the answer that suits you best. |
