I have gateway NV53A24u laptop. I like to have XP professional on it instead.

Do yo think is it possible?

Thanks

As fihart said, drivers are going to be the biggest concern. Windows generally finds generic drivers for most of your hardware, but check to see if you can find drivers for your graphics and touchpad. Also, make sure that you have the CD/DVDs for any software that came loaded on the machine that you may want (MS Office, Cyberlink PowerDVD, etc.)

It seems to be a a current product so there's no reason it won't perform very well with XP -- but check you can find drivers for it as it's a lot newer than XP.
