can acer aspire 6920g be downgraded to windows XP?

Can you? Its more of a learning experience since I will probably never do this...
But, When windows 8 comes out I may wish to upgrade since I heard it takes less system resources but has a nice look and such. Anyways, if I wanted to downgrade to XP, all i'd do is clean format? then just install the disks? would there be any erros since acer modded this laptop or no?
Thanks.

 

you would need to find specific drivers. Search a bit,there's a lot of people who did it and asked question.

 

It's pretty easy finding the drivers using google. Just type acer 6920g xp drivers and you can find sites with all of them listed, sites like this and this may prove useful, go to the device manufacturers webpage and download from there.

Also, when is windows 8 out, i'm using the windows 7 beta, i'd love to try 8 out, so soon after 7

 

whats the deal with windows 8 and windows 7...all i heard of was windows 7 now there making windows 8? and hows windows 7 beta?

 

I've no idea about windows 8, never heard of it!!!!!

Windows 7 Beta is pretty good, seems very stable. I've not really had any issues with installing drivers for the system. All of my Vista drivers work which is always a plus as all of my devices are working.

There are a few glitches like programs not running, but this is to be expected with it being a beta, (magicdisc, daemon tools, tuneup utilities), but i've managed to find alternative programs.

It seems a tad quicker than Vista, desktops is ready for use almost instantly, I've seen my battery life reduce, but i'm putting it down to my battery on it's way out, as a lot of people have seen a dramatic increase in their battery life.

All in all, it's looking good so far with Window 7, not many isues so to speak. Lets hope it' like this on release.

One thing I think that will kill the OS on release is when manufacturers decide to put their crapware on it, this will possibly kill gains in performance as it always does which then results in no tech minded people blaming this on the OS, but in actual fact it's the likes of Acer, HP etc to blame. I hope this doesn't happen but I only hold small hope.

 

im to scared to try the beta...not the most techy person u'd meet Lol, However when My bro goes to college he gets this laptop and i get his desktop and we will probably if good(windows 7), we will upgrade from xp to 7...so far i heard the beta is good.

 

if i do do this...and it fails how can i restore back to acer windows vista?

 

Most acer notebooks comes with a back up program that creates cd's or dvd's that will actually return your laptop to the OEM OS as it came, with the versions of the windows that it came and all the drivers that came from factory with their version (not the latest version). For Example My 6920g came with NTI Back Up Now 5, it burns 2 dvd's that will format the HDD and restore it to the factory came...
