Hi newcomer and welcome to the Tom's hardware forum.

1- Be sure that your laptop support XP, and that the manufacturer's web have the drivers for the OS, that in this case is XP.

2- You need a backup of all your files and other important things for your like movies or music.

3- BUY a license of XP, boot from the CD and follow the installation process, this will guide you across all the process.
