Hi all. I have bought a HP 2133 netbook for the wife . She can not get along with Linux os which was preinstalled.
How difficult would it be to uninstall Linux and install windows XP which I have been told would be best.
would I uninstall Linux before installing XP or install XP and then uninstall Linux.
Would I need to check anything else, any advice would be gladly received thanks in advance.
K.

Welcome back.

The biggest obstacle is drivers, goto the makers website and make sure they offer all the XP drivers for download prior to doing anything.

If you remove the partitions during install XP will then format the drive and it will be clean.
