Im thinking of downgrading my toshiba satelite C850 (PSKC8C-07G00R) to windows xp because man, this thing is awful on windows 7 even though its default OS. Ive been forced to put it on he best settings such as puttijg on the classic theme and removing a bunch of visual effects its the only way to make it perform decently. Also would this perform good on xp?
2gb ram (1.89 usable)
1.70 ghz celeron

Where can I find device drivers for Windows XP for my computer model?

Toshiba posts all tested and available Windows XP device drivers on the Toshiba Support website, at http://pcsupport.toshiba.com. Click the link for Tech Support Center, then selectyour computer family and model, and click GO. On the next screen, click Downloads, and then scan the listing for Windows XP drivers. It may help to select 'Windows XP' from the Filter by Operating System filter list. Be sure to read the complete description for each driver.

If you have already installed Windows XP, but have not found a driver for a particular device or subsystem, try searching the website of the device manufacturer. The Windows Device Manager (Control Panel, System) may provide model numbers, as may the Detailed Spec published for each computer model on the Toshiba Support website. It is also possible that Toshiba has Windows XP drivers available for other computer models which use the same device or subsystem as your model. These drivers may work correctly, though they are not officially supported for your model.

How To Find Drivers For An Unrecognized Device

1. Open Device Manager (Control Panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager)
2. The hardware whose drivers are missing will appear as Unknown device, so it's easier to locate the device.
3. Right click on the unknown device and click on Properties.
4. Under the Properties window click on Details tab and select Device Instance Id from the drop down box.
5. You should see a code similar to this

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27DC&SUBSYS_30868086
&REV_01\4&1E46F438&0&40F0

6. The portion of the code highlighted in RED is the Vendor ID and the portion highlighted in GREEN is the Device ID. In this example:

Vendor ID = 8086
Device ID = 27DC

7. Once you have obtained both the IDs, proceed to

http://pcidatabase.com/

There you can either search for the vendor from the vendor ID or directly get information about the device along with the vendor name by searching with the device ID.

8. Then from there you can go directly to the hardware manufactureres website and get the driver.
