Upgrade to XP from VIsta

I have recently putrchased a M2010.  It came with Vista installed.  I would like to know if Dell has Windows XP drivers for the M2010 and where to get them.

Hi everyone! Good to know it's possible to downgrade to XP safely with all drivers at our disposal. In my case I purchased last year an Inspiron 1521 (laptop). Is there any kind of checklist with the procedures to be done in order? the information from Larry is very usefull! something like that for my Inspiron?

Thanks for the info.  I have a user that cannot make the switch to Vista.  80+ and glad just to see him still developing database applications.

The info I have only shows Vista drivers for the 1521, but from the list you should be able to find what you need for XP:

  • Dell™ Notebook System Software
  • AMD™ M690T Chipset with ATI™ Radeon® X1270 Graphics Northbridge Driver
  • ATI Radeon X1270 Graphics
  • Ricoh® Media Card Reader Driver
  • Broadcom® 440X 10/100 Integrated Network Controller
  • Wireless driver (if applicable)
  • SigmaTel® STAC 9205 Audio Driver
  • MDC driver
  • Dell Touch Pad Driver
  • Bluetooth® driver and stack
