I have recently bought a used laptop that is old. The person I had bought it from had installed windows xp on it, even though it originally came with windows Me. I want to remove the windows xp because it runs slows on the laptop because it takes up more memory than the windows Me would. Also I want to remove windows xp because it is an illegal copy. So when I tried to run updates on it, windows would not install updates because the windows xp is not genuine.

refformat your hard drive, if your windows me is bootable, just insert in to cd rive. and re start your compmter. just follow instruction.
Your laptop vendor might have given you Windows ME OS. If not, pls. check out this store for cheapest deal with any Windows OS >>> http://www.mdofpc.com/
It’s better to leave Windows XP and just upgrade your laptop. It’s much better. Besides, Windows XP is way better then Windows Me. Windows Me is obsolete and many programs that can run with XP, can’t run with Me.
all you have to do is insert the windows me disk into the cd drive. then reboot your laptop, when the black screen with all the info comes up and when it asks u to boot from cd hit any key when it tells you to then install from there
!!! I RECOMEND SINCE ITS AN ILLEAGLE COPY TO WIPE OUT THE ENTIRE HARD DRIVE WHEN IT ASKS YOU WHICH HARD DRIVE TO INSTALL IT ON. THEN ADD ALL THE FREE SPACE ON THE EMPTY HARD DRIVE ONTO A NEW FILE LOCATION, IT WILL LOOK LIKE C:/ {Raw} or something like that
I would suggest a full system restore replacing the Windows XP with the correct version of Windows ME. As explained from other members here, insert the system recovery disks if you have these and follow the instructions. This will completely remove all existing Windows XP profiles and will restore your laptop back to factory state after a full system restore.
It is also very likely that your laptop is not capable of working with Windows XP as a result of insufficient system resources on your laptop which is one reason why your laptop is not preforming at its optimum proficiency.
