You can install XP, but you're on your own - be sure you survey the component makers' websites for the drivers you'll need BEFORE you begin installing. You will also get no support from Dell for XP.

There's a terrible echo in this thread :emotion-55:

Welcome to the forums :emotion-21:
You can install any OS you want - on any system. But a couple of points worth baring in mind, before you switch to XP...
1. Dell won't offer you support, if you're using an OS other than the one which was pre-installed on the system :emotion-55:
2. Since XP drivers are not offered for the Vostro A860 on the Dell website, you may have trouble finding all the drivers you need?
