Can I upgrade to Windows Vista or just get a new computer?

As support ends for Windows XP can I upgrade to windows Vista or is supported ending for Vista also. If not, where can I get a version of Vista?

Beth

Support ends for vista.  Standard support for vista has a long time ago.  The next option is win 7 and your system may or may not be able to run it.  You can check by downloading the the windows Upgrade Advisor

    Hello

    This is not an upgrade from Windows 7 to Vista.

    It is a downgrade that Vista is the previous operating system before Windows 7 came out and you would have to BUY a COMPLETE of Vista version and do a fresh install of Vista; but before you buy Vista, check first that your computer manufacturer provides the Vista drivers for your model computer.

    Microsoft sells more Vista; Try Amazon.com.

  • Can I upgrade to Windows Vista or Windows 7?

    I have a HP Pavilion 523n 2002, which has an AMD Athlon 1.67 GHz microprocessor.   He has been up with 2 GB of memory, hard drives 150 MB and 320 MB, a Startech USB 2.0/IEEE1394 PCI card and a video card ATI all-in-Wonder 7500/64 MB DDR AGP.  It came with Windows XP Home Edition is installed.  Is it possible to upgrade my computer with Windows Vista or Windows 7?

    Hello:

    I do not think because the video card is not windows Vista or 7 capable. There may be other hardware not able either.

    The best thing to do is to download and run the Upgrade Advisor free windows 7, which will signal the backward compatibility of your PC with windows 7.

    Plug in and turn on any peripheral equipment (printers, scanners, etc.), you, and she will report on their compatibility too.

  • Can I use my Windows 7 key refuse on a new computer

    After 4 years on a new laptop with Windows XP preinstalled, it was able to live usage conditions useage, being that student on a level 3 course HE computer is an essential tool.

    When Windows 7 is released, I don't a not jump directly into it as Windows XP always lived to its needs, but a few months after Windows 7 was released, it was time to update in order to track performance and safety more with Windows 7, offering more features that it was difficult not to be upgraded. So I got out a got a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium (32-bit and 64-bit). After that installation of the difference was clear, it was worth the investment.

    Recently, this computer gave up finally to go and has since been replaced by a custom built Tower currently using Windows XP Professional SP3 but it simply not the same thing, because once you upgrade to 7 you never want to go back and still currently the object of a student full time I could opt to buy a 2nd key at the student rate, but why give up what works already?

    More to the point it will be possible to use the same product key to activate Windows 7 even on the new computer? I understand also manual activation may be required.

    Yes, you can transfer your license of Windows 7 to the new computer, but you may need to reactivate by phone:

    How to activate Windows 7 manually (activate by phone)
     
    1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
     
    (2) press the ENTER"" key.
     
    (3) select your "country" in the list.
     
    (4) choose the option "activate phone".
     
    (5) stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

  • Have CS6 installed on Windows Vista, need to install the new computer of Windows 8

    The disc does not start the installation program. If I manually start the installation program, it requires a serial number. When I entered the serial number, he asked that the associated product and CS6 is not displayed in the drop-down option. (Extended CS6 is indicated, but not cs6).

    How can I get CS6 install on the new computer in Windows 8?

    Hello

    Welcome to the community!

    It seems that you bought an improved cs6 serial number and asked for an earlier version.

    You have a previous version of CS5.5 or CS5?

  • Questions about upgrading or if I should just get a new laptop instead.

    Good history is therefore, I soon go to the College, and they need to each student to have a laptop. Now my laptop is not exactly in the best conditions (on a scale of excellent to broken I would say it is good) and there is certainly an upgrade and repair or two.

    At this moment I have a HP Pavilion 9720us the only update with 2 GB of RAM instead of 1 GB. It's also like a broken webcam.

    Currently, I am convinced that I have to upgrade the video card and the motherboard but also to repair the built in webcam.

    I'm not too knowledgeable in repair laptops, and I don't know what are the parts would be compatible with my laptop.

    So my question is should I go for repairs or just a new laptop?

    And if I should go for repairs which parts I should get and where would be a good place to get the upgrades?

    A laptop with the least amount of bloat ware on it, the better _ Sony, Toshiba. HP is OK if you close all unnecessary programs running down at startup, as HP Support Assistant, HP Dock and Gadgets Windows, even if it is not an HP application he devours resources and slows down the startup time.

    If you use it in the game, so no laptop is good for this, they all have an insufficient cooling, there are some that are specifically for the games, but they start at around $ 1200.00 + and those who, like of being robbed.

    If you're on a budget, put an additional Stick of RAM in your old and use it with an external hard drive. Keep all your stuff to school the disk external hard and if old laptop craps out, you have lost nothing. The external hard drive can be used on any machine.

    If you plan to do video editing then you need at least 4 GB of RAM with an 'i' series processor. Now, all computers will be 64-bit with at least 3 GB of RAM, but it's the bare minimum. Some of the books very small note will be always 32 bits, but they would not make a good machine for College, hard disks are too small and most of the people do not have a DVD player.

    Any computer will perform simple Word document application and save images.

    Only you know what you're going to do with it, and I gave you a few suggestions.
