How did you get that info,not very many consumer computers will fit that
statistic.Either way,go to add/remove programs,locate the uninstall xp icon (
probably at bottom of page).

The normal way to "uninstall" any operating system is to format
the hard drive and install a new OS of your choice.

Only if you performed an upgrade from Win98/Me, elected to backup
the old system files, and didn't convert the partition to NTFS, can
you then boot into Safe Mode and click Start > Control Panel
> Add/Remove Programs. All of these conditions must be met for the
uninstall option to be available.
