Best Answer

The only way to successfully do this would be to backup all of your data onto a removable drive or separate hard disk and install Windows 2000 on the machine.

I would highly recommend formating the main system disk when you did this to avoid any conflicts.

I think you're looking for a way to gracefully downgrade your installation. Such a methods doesn't exist

Also, you will need to reinstall all of your software after the Windows 2000 installation. You should also be mindful that your software will work on Windows 2000.

How to remove xp professional and use xp home edition?

You can not simply remove the Professional option from XP and revert back to Home. To take a machine from Windows XP Professional to Windows XP Home you would first need to wipe the machine (format the hard drive), then reinstall the Windows XP Home operating system. It makes little sense to do so, however, because Windows XP Professional is a hardier operating system and can perform better network tasks than Windows XP Home.
