tekkaman Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Maybe there's a way to spoof the Windows version so you can also install it. But I have a question. Why not use SP2 ? Back when it was first released I noticed that my computer was faster with SP2 than without it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be done using Application Verifier very easy in same way how we can install Office 2010 on XP x64 Edited May 3, 2023 by George King 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The windows startup logo says "Professional edition" or "Home edition", when sp2 was released they removed it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only as an example, SP2 removed PAE : In the case you had a "good" motherboard with "good" drivers and lots (at the time) of RAM XP SP2 was a "downgrade". But OP's procedure - unlike what the title suggests - does not actually install Office 2007 in SP1, it installs it on SP2 and then reverts back to SP1. It is unknown if anything "sticks" after uninstalling the service Pack 2. jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
