Not necessarily wanting to change up etc... just curious<br /> Scott....lov the dog pic. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/changing-from-xp-to-vista#post-20392 Mon, 21 Apr 2008 02:51:42 +0000 ScottW 20392@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>carpentersgirl, I looked up the specs on the Presario S3100NX, and I gather this is a pretty old system. I would advise you to read about the requirements for Vista and download and run the Vista Upgrade Advisor from Microsoft:<br /> <a href='http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/buyorupgrade/upgradeadvisor.mspx'>http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/buyorupgrade/upgradeadvisor.mspx</a></p> <p>According to the HP/Compaq website, this system can only have 1 GB of memory max. I gather you already know that the integrated graphics chip is lacking, based on your other thread. I'm afraid that you might not have a good experience with Vista on this Presario due to it's age.</p> <p>If you don't mind me asking, why do you wish to upgrade to Vista? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/changing-from-xp-to-vista#post-20381 Mon, 21 Apr 2008 01:40:35 +0000 whs 20381@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>easy, buy Vista and install it. How much RAM do you have. You need 2GB for Premium and higher. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/changing-from-xp-to-vista#post-20380 Mon, 21 Apr 2008 01:38:34 +0000 carpentersgirl98 20380@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I have a Presario S3100NX with preinstalled os XP<br /> If I wanted to change to VISTA how could it be done? </p>
