can I media share with Windows 7 and Windows Vista?

I have a computer that has Windows 7 on it, and my sister has a computer with Windows Vista. We can share files, if so how?

Hi the Itallien Stallion,

You can share files and folders in many different ways. The most common way to share files in Windows is to share them directly from your computer. Windows provides two methods for sharing files in this way: you can share files from any folder on your computer or from the Public folder. Method you use depends on where you want to store the shared folders, that you want to share with, and the degree of control you want to have the files. Or the alternative method allows you to share files or folders with someone using your computer or another computer on the same network. If you are looking for other ways to share, this article also has several other methods that you can use.

Once the computers are connected to the network, you can share your files and folders.
See the link below which might help you to connect your network computers.

  • Can I have a sytem of dual boot with Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows XP Professional?

    My laptop came preloaded with Windows Vista Edition Home Premium on the C drive.  The drive D partition contains recovery software.  I have a partition formatted f with nothing in it.  Can I install Windows XP Professional on the partiion F and have a system dual boot?  If so, how to load F installation CD when it wants to install in C?

    It is the instance of Vista installation.

    Come on first, site of the manufacturer of your computer, check to see if your model computer has XP drivers available for it...

    If the XP drivers are not available for your model, forget the idea.

    and use the Vista Compatibility Center

    and read the vista system requirements
