This customer of yours is looking for a free upgrade install procedure or the equivalent somehow. Try it yourself on a trade-in PC. W2K has the same routines in it to make it avoid a backwards install over a newer version, same as all the MS Windows products have had, at least as far back as Win98.

If anyone NEEDS to go backwards, the newer OS has to be totally removed by reformatting the primary DOS partition.
