You should ensure that all your important information (ex: email, pics, word
documents, etc.) is backed up off the computer to another location, if you
are going to reinstall everything. If this is a new computer, then you may
have gotten cd's with it. If so you could start the computer with them and
choose to reinstall everything.
 
That didn't work for me. I need to uninstall XP Pro first and I can't find
out how to do that anywhere. . .
 
You don't uninstall.....

You boot with a bootdisk, format the hard drive and then install the new
operating system. You CANNOT just downgrade an operating system.

IF (and only if) when you upgraded you CHOSE to keep the original O/S in
case you wanted to return to it, there will be an option in the Control
Panel to remove XP.

Otherwise it's a COMPLETE format of the hard drive with the resulting loss
of ALL DATA on the hard drive.
