rocknrollstar Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Hi, I'm looking at buying 32pcs from Acer Aspire Revo R3610 Desktop PC - Desktops | Ebuyer.com to our XP network. 2 questions: 1) Is it ok to leave them as Win7 HP? Presumably I can map shared drives to our server for our 4 user accounts (Junior School). What about preventing wallpaper changes etc? 2) We are still on an XP Pro network. How much/can I downgrade Win7HP to XP Pro? Thanks in advance!
jsnetman Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 (edited) To get any type of functionality on a network and perhaps group policy control/joining a domain you are going to need Win 7 Professional/Business. ask the supplier to upgarde them to professional or else buy some upgrade licenses. I don't think you can downgrade from Win 7 Home to XP professional. Edited June 18, 2010 by jsnetman
ChrisH Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 I don't think you can downgrade from Win 7 Home to XP professional. That is correct, you can only downgrade to an equivalent version.
