Hello,

I have a originally windows 7 laptop and a windows xp computer. I upgraded my 7 laptop. But now i want windows 7 back on it, i have asus recovery but i dont know if i can use it after i upgraded to windows 8. And if i succeed to downgrade to 7, is it possible to install 8 on the win xp pc? (has the right specs)

But why not use the partition? I have asus recovery but i have the cd to, but idk if the cd contains windows. On the cd it says: Driver&Utility ver2.0 . But if i choose asus recovery when starting the laptop i see the win7 start logo so im not sure

You can try the Recovery partition, but most likely been made unusable by installing Windows 8.
