I took a microSD and flashed the pi1 backup to it, placed it in a SD adaptor and tested it in Pi1 - No problem. It worked as expected. I removed from /boot/config.txt all the cpu/memory clock speeds and also the mpeg licence.

You do not have to remove/change mpeg license. Up to 8 comma separated licenses can be put there (I have three configured )

Quote:I placed the microSD into a Pi2 and it seems to get stuck in the boot process. The activity light flickers a little and then it just sits there. I have no screen attached so can't see how far it got, maybe try again tomorrow.....

Is there something else I need to do, or is this not possible with Xbian image?

Yes / No

I did this when I bought first RPi2 (about two years ago), was too lazy to configure everything from scratch . But you have to install Kernel for RPi2 when card is still plugged in a RPi1, because kernel built for RPi1 does NOT support RPi2/3 and vice versa.
