-pops- Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 You should be able to do the things you want but, make sure you have a backup of your complete system as it is now before you try the upgrade. I have known two instances where the upgrading to Vista from XP has failed at the first attempt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarecrow Man Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Windows XP Home can upgrade to Vista Home Basic, Vista Home Premium, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 If XP does what you want, why risk an upgrade with all the potential problems? Why not wait until you get a computer designed with Vista in mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
