Hi Nadeem and welcome.

Sony do not support XP on your Model - so there are no official drivers and utilities for XP.

However, several Club Vaio members have successfully installed XP by using the Original Drivers Package and Original Utilities Package for the VGN-N11S. This has the same devices as your N31S but was sold with XP installed.

You can download them here: -
