Current installed oem OS is Windows 10 on a hp notebook model 14bw012nr that I don't use much. I want to wipe the drive completely and fresh install Windows XP 64-bit to run a older progam I'm looking for easiest way to do this? Diskpart seems to be the way to go, but my knowlegde is limited to what I'm trying to do. Even override commands as Admin in cmd pmt to clean unmount remove unassign doesn't work as I've seen on videos. I can't remove the boot start-up assigned to partition. I'm assuming there is an easier way than having to set up vdisk or part the drive and load XP before it will allow boot start-up re-assignment. I've also tried to run installation of XP and set-up stops because the drivers are so far off that stops install. How do I uninstall windows 10 and or re-format hard drive for fresh install of XP?
I know I've stated my knowlegde is limited but please limit any extra advice telling me other things like- Part the drive dual boot, vitual box, buy older laptop with XP installed.
