The Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor is a small beta application that you can run on your current Windows XP-based computer to find out if it's ready for an upgrade to Windows Vista. When you run the Upgrade Advisor, it will scan your computer and generate an easy-to-understand report of any known system and device compatibility issues, along with recommendations on how you can get your PC ready for Windows Vista. Microsoft plans to add functionality to Upgrade Advisor, such as checking how your software applications will run with Windows Vista. Download the beta version today and check this site in a few months for a new version.

"Windows Vista Ultimate appears to best meet your needs."

Seems about right...

Same thing for me.

Does anybody know the pricing scheme for Vista?

Or has none been released yet. I hope vista isn't too much otherwise i have to stick with xp for a while.

Me just a college student :( .. with bad grammar. lol.

Edited by Cierro

It recommended Home Premium to me... unless you tick the last two boxes (connect to Corporate/Campus network and Simplify My Business) then that's what you'll always get. Still, the Ultimate edition has a few features that look tempting - I will wait to see whether the price is equally temping.

"Windows Vista Ultimate appears to best meet your needs."

Seems about right...

Same. I need to update some drivers, though

Apparantly my PC cannot run the "Core Experience of Windows Vista" as my CPU runs at 0.000Hz....

Ouch, you're never going to run Vista on that! :p

I'll try this in a few minutes, but I'm linuxing it up right now.

lol! Try opening add/removeprograms and check the show updates box.

It's not an update to any previously installed software, and therefore, does not show up if you check "show updates".

We're sorry, but your PC cannot currently install and run the core experiences of Windows Vista.

However, you may be able prepare your computer for Windows Vista by upgrading your PC hardware.

You will need to take the following actions to run Windows Vista.

Upgrade your System Memory

512MB Memory required to install Windows Vista (Your computer currently has 448.00 MB)

You will need to increase your system memory. 512MB is required to install and run the basic functionality of Windows Vista. We recommend at least 1 GB of system memory to ensure optimal performance for TV recording, high-end gaming, photo editing, and multimedia applications. Contact your PC retailer to see if an upgrade is available.

Additional hard drive storage

15GB free space required (Your computer currently has 11.98 GB)

You will either need to:

a) upgrade your hard drive to increase its capacity, or

b) create additional free space on your existing drive by removing unwanted files.

If you decide to upgrade your hard drive, we recommend 40GB capacity at minimum for premium editions of Windows Vista. Contact your PC retailer to see if an upgrade is available.

Easy to fix, I need a bigger hard drive, and I knew I needed more ram (I'm going to 1.0GB, my laptop can handle 2)

Same. I need to update some drivers, though

Ouch, you're never going to run Vista on that! :p

How can he even be on a computer that has that? what does he do just sit and stair at the screen?> :p

Apparantly my PC cannot run the "Core Experience of Windows Vista" as my CPU runs at 0.000Hz....
Edited by Tech_Dude_5000

Well, he wont even be able to run windows 1.0 on that, may be Pre Dos ( or a late 70s OS ) but not vista, Vista wont see the light of day on that lol

Dude you can't run ANYTHING on 0,000 Hz! Even a simple digital watch or microwave needs to have a few MHz of processing power. :laugh:

    • LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 151.0.3 Release Notes Notable changes: Clears the preference toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart, which may otherwise trigger an upstream bug on Windows (librewolf/issues#3056) Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Unsurprisingly, there's what the law says and what the old white wealthy males legally enforce...
    • Or anything online that requires an anti-cheat
    • Gf needed a new Surface and was looking at a Surface Laptop because of the Snapdragon. Seeing as it was a two year old chip she just decided to get a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead. Personally this Surface Ultra Cassis reminds me a bit of Razor. It would be interesting if it could handle proper gaming and be 17 inch.
    • No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux or Linux gaming in general (despite my own experience being a bit of a mixed bag). I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux exclusive and that you can benefit from using it even in Windows.
