Window 7 or 8 is a curse.
 
If you are talking about downgrading from 7 or 8 to Windows XP you will have to do a clean install. Make sure you backup all important data before you install Windows XP and check with the computer manufacturer to make sure Windows XP drivers are available for your computer. If no drivers are available from the manufacturer it may still be possible but it may take some time to find the motherboard and other drivers you need. Have you considered or tried XP mode?
