I have a question, when my x64 Pro Edition Trial expires, is it possible to
go back to my old 32bit Home Edition, or do I have to Purchase the x64
Edition? Thanks for the help.
The choice is yours. You'll either have to format the hard drive and
replace the OS, or purchase a full WinXPx64 license and perform an
in-place upgrade.
The only way to change from WinXP Pro (regardless of whether it's
32-bit or 64-bit) to WinXP Home is to format the drive and start over.
There is no supported downgrade path or technique.
Simply boot from the WinXP installation CD. You'll be offered the
opportunity to delete, create, and format partitions as part of the
installation process. (You may need to re-arrange the order of boot
devices in the PC's BIOS to boot from the CD.)
