Good day, habravchane.
In recent years, a lot of water has surfaced regarding the downgrade of Windows 7 Pro to Windows XP Pro, could you describe this procedure in detail?
Namely:
Is it possible today?
— With what versions of 7 Pro is it possible to downgrade? (OEM, BOX, OLP, GGK)
- Which disk is suitable for installing XP?
How is the activation procedure carried out?

1. Possible, in the case of OEM, problems may arise after the release of Windows 8.
2. OEM, OLP, GGWA - you can, GGK - you can when buying SA, BOX - you can’t.
3. Any, but it is better to get by with the original disk from OLP, OEM or boxed version.
4. By phone, if the corporate version is installed with the correct key, then activation is not required.
In your case, the cheapest option is to buy GGWA or OEM with replacement computers (or a properly designed “repair”), just make sure that there is no other left software from MS, because in a couple of months they may come with a check.

You can do it with OLP, BOX and GGK for sure, OEM is not in the know. It’s easy to do - install XP with any key from the Internet, choose activation by phone, call Microsoft, say what the downgrade is doing, call it the key from the seven and the numbers that the activator issued, and they call you the activation code, that’s it.

And do you plan to climb from 7.7 to 8? There are already bookkeeping in the cloud and iPad support

Technically, of course, it is impossible to make a downgrade. And so, put with the key from 7ki.
