What remains when you up/downgrade?

I'm using xp pro 64 at the moment, it's been interesting but to be honest I can't see any benefit so I think I'd rather go back to 32 but I hate reinstalling.

I also have xp pro upgrade which I presume will also "down"grade this machine to normal 32 bit.. but what remains?

Is this similar to norton/mcaffe upgrades that are basically full versions of the app that installs over the original just using the originals presence as permission to install?

I want this to function as close to a fresh install of 32 as possible.

You presume incorrectly. There's no upgrade path to x64 from any OS, and there certainly isn't a downgrade path (historically the closest you get is an 'uninstall' after a successful upgrade, and they can be quite dirty anyway).

Reinstall is your only option if you want to go back.
