Re: Downgrade CD's

Sorry, but Microsoft restricts XP downgrades to either Vista Business or Vista Ultimate.  Home Premium doesn't qualify.

Re: Downgrade CD's

I have a Lenovo R61i, type 7732-8DU. It ships with Windows Vista Business, right? But the stupid tech support guy said "Oh the manifest states that it was shipped with Windows Vista Basic, so you can't downgrade it". Is there any way that I can obtain a Downgrade disk? The second time I called him, he hung up on me. Can I visit a dealer or somehow order it over the internet? Please help.

What "stupid tech support guy" did you speak to? Call Lenovo CA and ask to speak to a manager.

Google translation:


Hello, I too have a Lenovo R61, type 7732GS -. It comes with Windows Vista Business, the PC stops continuously for no apparent reason, I decided to downgrade to XP Pro, but for days trying to figure out how Lenovo can I do to have the CD Recovey XP, but I can not find responses, in Italy the service offered by Lenovo is virtually nonexistent, Regrets for IBM, also for anything even to call for the CD

I have asked nr. credit cards, it is certain that if I get what I asked soon, I'm not buying more a Lenovo product, or for me or even for companies that I follow for Informatica.

But someone can help me understand where to find these CDs. Thanks

Ciao, anche io ho un  Lenovo R61i, type 7732GS -. Esso ha installato  Windows Vista Business, il Pc si ferma continuamente senza motivo apparente, ho deciso di fare il downgrade a XP Pro, ma da giorni cerco con Lenovo di capire come posso fare ad avere i CD di Recovey XP, ma non riesco a trovare risposte, in Italia il servizio offerto da Lenovo è praticamente inesistente, rimpiango la IBM, inoltre per qualsiasi cosa anche telefonare per chiedere i CD

mi hanno chiesto il nr. della carta di credito, certo è che se non ottengo quello che ho chiesto a breve, non comprero mai più un prodotto Lenovo, ne per me e nemmeno per le aziende che seguo per Informatica.

Comunque qualcuno può aiutarmi a capire dove reperire i suddetti CD. Grazie

Re: Downgrade CD's

I CD di downgrade sono forniti con il sistema si è ottenuto

 

 

The downgrade Cds are provided with the system you obtained
