    My question is how can I save my Bookmarks info so if it fail, I can re-install the W7 and load back the bookmarks.
    What browser do you use?
    Firefox.
    Go to bookmarks menu.

    Choose show all bookmarks

    Choose import and backup

    Choose export HTML.

    The only problem nowadays would be drivers. There might not be suitable XP drivers for your new laptop.

    I am even willing to try installing XP onto my few months old HP laptop.
    I will say NO, but may be, as some newer HP/compaq have a BIOS problem with WinXP.
