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."

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:

    • I do not remember anything happening to Apple and Google for bribing people not to make Apps for Windows Phone. Edge barley has a foot print to matter. If the other browser companies want more of the Pie, they need to do better. I use Brave on all my personal device. However in industry, Edge of default, as we can manage it easier with MS tools.
    • On the one hand, it shouldn't be difficult. You buy a computer, you decide what OS you want, which browser etc. Simple enough. But that's the techie side of things. My sister, my mother, wouldn't bother with such a thought. And I'm pretty sure that if you presented a window asking them what to pick they would say, "I don't care! I just want to access my Email!"
