Hi anonymous...!

Great to see you again in this blogs... If you're willing to upgrade your computer/laptop from Windows XP to Windows Vista, you need to check the minimum requirements needed on your computer such as graphic cards, sound cards, and so on. If your computer/laptop is Vista ready, u don't ever have to worry about upgrading your current OS to Windows Vista. You may also need to find a new driver for each hardware on your computer. To do this, you must check your hardware compatibility for Windows Vista at your hardware manufacturer's websites. For standard requirement check on your computer, you may visit the following websites that i've list belows.

• Windows Vista Requirements (Microsoft Site)
  
• Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor (A tool for you to install and test if your current spec is enough, and if you need upgrade in any particular hardware)
  
• Are You Windows Vista Ready? (AMD ATI website)
