I have Windows 7 Build 7100 and it runs great, but I want to install Windows XP for better gaming performance.
Do I need to reinstall my games for use with Windows XP? I don't know, I never ran two operating systems before
Hi extremepilot, welcome to the forums.
I've not dual booted before either, although i'm gonna try it soon. You would, however, need to re-install all your games for XP as the OS architecture is completely different (even if you installed some with compatability mode).
Hope this helps :)

Dual Boot Installation with Windows 7 and XP
thanks! it was easy as pie. gta 4 runs smooth as butter, too
Have you tried running your XP programs in Windows XP mode. I have several programs going on it and it works a charm. That way you dont have to switch OS to play specific software, just open the application and it starts withing the Virtual XP Enviroment.
Highly recomended you give it a try.
