How to Uninstall Windows XP If It Does Not Show on Add & Remove
If you want to uninstall Windows XP, you are probably considering switching to another version of Windows or perhaps some other operating system (OS). If Windows XP is not showing on "Add and Remove Programs," the way to uninstall it is to install another operating system over it. When you put in the CD of another operating system in your computer and install it, your computer asks if you want to uninstall the previously installed operating system (Windows XP). If you select this option, Windows XP will be removed from your PC.
