|
Answer» how can i upgrade my windows xp to windows vista.....im a beginer so pls give me details tnxBuy Vista Upgrade edition for WHICHEVER version you need of Vista. Insert CD in drive, and with XP already booted the autorun of the CD should prompt you through the installation. Follow the directions and you should be all set. * Be sure to run the system check to verify that your system meets the hardware requirements beforeinstallation. This check will be on one of the first few option screens of the installation process. I recommend minimum 768mb RAM although it can run on 512mb and at least 20GB HD Free. Also back up any important files ( burn to CD or copy to ext HD ) prior to in case you accidentally select clean install which wipes all data from drive.Please, post some computer info: - processor TYPE, amount of RAM (hold Windows logo KEY, hit Pause/Break key) - hard drive size/free space (open "My Computer", right click on hard drive letter, click "Properties") Here's some minimum recommended PC Specs for running vista --> http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-vista/get/system-requirements.aspx If you're a little underpowered, maybe your pc might not run so well....

Quote from: Broni on June 23, 2009, 05:29:44 PM Disregard Micro$oft misleading information. Can I ask just for future info to myself and original poster why this is the case? My Laptop far exceeds the 'min' requirements but Kylland79 may not.Every Micro$oft web page listing Windows of any sort requirements (be it Vista, XP, or any other flavor) is misleading. For instance, Vista: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-vista/get/system-requirements.aspx For Vista to run well, you need dual core processor, and 2GB of RAM, to start with. Video card with with 128MB of RAM will work lousy as well. Not to mention hard drive space, they mention. It may be OK, just to install Vista, and nothing else.Got YA. however, if your PC does not even meet the minimum recommended requirements as per microsoft's website (regardless of how misleading it may be), your computer is probably not going to be happy running Vista. Mine loves it... kinda. I don't think it's the comp more the user |
