downgrading ar31s to XP, advice please

[will76]

Hi all,

This question has probably been asked before but I couldn't find any specific details.

Ok, I understand that vaio offer all drivers for the ar31s on vista but alas not on my personal choice of OS's XP. Is there an easy way of finding all required drivers to format and reinstall?

My second question is.... do sony offer a service to downgrade the machine?

Thanks in advance

Hi will76,

welcome to Club Vaio..

The thread by costasp may help, use the following link to view:Full instructions to downgrade an AR31M from Vista to XP Pro

Note that you will loose the pre-installed application such as Win DVD BD if you downgrade to XP..
