Upgrading windows XP to Vista

31 Days Ago

I am using a windows xp pro as my operating system. I want to upgrade it to windows vista. I heard that you can upgrade xp to vista without re moving your files using the upgrade copy for vista. May someone help me how to do it. Thank you for the concern.

Forget Vista and upgrade to Windows 7. But you will have to do a clean install, not an upgrade. Backup all files you want to save before starting because Windows 7 installation will reformat the hard drive.

But if you insist you must upgrade to Vista, just put the Vista installation disk in the DVD drive, reboot the computer, and follow the prompts. You should back up all important files (games etc) in case something goes wrong.
