Windows 7 or Vista

We recommend browsing Microsoft Website to determine if your computer system is compatible to 'upgrade' to Vista. By the time you Add more Memory, and Gb space and Graphics Card, you will better off buying a new computer, with Vista or 7 pre-installed. www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/buyorupgrade

  • To use Vista, you should be ‘Very Comfortable’ Working with Windows. There are a lot of nice features and shortcuts with Vista, however it will take some time to learn all the features to this operating system.
  • Make sure you have minimum of 4Gg Memory and 4Gig Space. More preferably! You need it with Vista, or it will run slow, even without being on a network.
  • Most printers will probably have to have new printer drivers or may not work at all with Vista. Please check the website with your printer manufacturer.
