All,

We had a laptop stolen Friday and need to get a replacement. The Windows
app in use is 16-bit (yea, I know) so I need Windows 32-bit.

Office Depot has a tremendous price this week only on Lenovo G570
(4334-5VU0) which is Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit. So it won't work as is.
Since it's Home Premium, XP mode is out.

Is it true that I would have downgrade license to Win 7 32-bit Home
Premium? If so, how does that work? Do I need to get physical media
somewhere?

Thanks.
