Business Desktop FAQs
Q:
What are the dates of the Windows Vista® downgrade:?
A:
The Factory downgrade and Field downgrade are available as follows:
a.
Field Downgrade is available through January 31, 2009
b.
Factory Downgrade is available through July 31, 2009
These dates will vary by region and product based on HP regional needs.
Q:
What is the difference between the Factory and Field downgrades?
A:
These are internal HP names used to describe the two different Windows Vista® OS downgrades
that we offer. The “Factory downgrade” is done at the request of the customer when the HP
Business DT is ordered. While still at the factory, the Vista Business PC is downgraded with a
Windows XP Professional “Custom Pre-install Image” prior to shipping to the customer. The “Field
Downgrade” occurs when an HP Business DT has already been shipped to the customer and the
customer would like to downgrade from the Vista OS on their own or with the assistance of an HP
Partner; HP ships recovery DVDs so the customer can reinstall the Microsoft® Windows® XP OS.
Q:
What does the customer receive when they purchase the factory Vista downgrade?
A:
In the Factory downgrade, the customer receives Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional 32-bit
preinstalled on the HP Business DT and a Microsoft Windows XP Professional 32-bit OS image on
the PC recovery partition, a Windows Vista® Business Edition COA (and license), a Windows
Vista Logo on the Business PC, and both Windows Vista Business and Windows XP Pro recovery
kits in the product carton. (Later on, when the customer desires to migrate to the Vista OS using
the enclosed Vista DVD, they must understand that this is a complete reinstall of different OS and
a backup of all files and applications will be needed).
