Impact of Changing XP Operating System

I bought a used computer before we moved from Denver. Since connecting to
the internet, I have been getting Microsoft warnings that the operating
system may be pirated. I want to install a different (and older) version of
the XP operating system for which I have a disk. Is there anyway to keep my
existing programs and files? I probably dont have installation disks for all
of the software that came with my computer purchase. Will all be erased when
the new operating system is installed?
