How to remove or Uninstall Windows XP

A

Anh

I have a notebook computer. Its original operating system
is Windows XP Home Edition. I upgrade it to Windows XP
Professional. Now I want to uninstall the Windows XP
Professional but I don't see any Windows XP programs
in "Add or Remove Programs" in Control Panel to remove
it. Does anybody help me to uninstall Windows XP? Thanks.

If I was you, I'd save all my needed files and reformat
the drive and install whatever operating system desire.

Sorry, but there's no way to do what you want. There is no
uninstall possible and no path back from XP Professional to XP
Home. The only way for you to get to XP Home is to reformat and
clean install it.

Why do you want to do this? Are you aware that XP Home is a
subset of Professional? There are extra things in Professional,
but there's nothing in Home that's not also in Professional, so
you gain nothing by going to Home. If you don't need all of
Professional's extra features, just don't use them. They don't
hurt you by being there.
