Question posted by howdeln on May 12th, 2014
Win 7 Back To Win Xp
I purchased a refurbished OptiPlex 755 which came with Win7. If I reinstall my valid copy of WinXP, will it work on the refurbished unit? What drivers will I need from DELL and where can I obtain them? The applications that I run do not work under Win 7, that is why I need to reinstall Win XP. The unit is used for music production and studio software. Thanks for your help

howdeln,
You can click the link below to download Windows XP drivers for the Optiplex 755. Once on the page insert your service tag number. Also, on the same page on the right side you can click Drivers Help. This link will provide the list of drivers needed and the order in which to install drivers for better performance.
Thank You,
