Windows Vista For many people, the Windows Vista experience begins with the purchase of a new PC. For others, the experience begins by upgrading a current PC. If you plan to upgrade, it's important to understand the options. Your choices depend on the version of Windows that is currently running on your PC and the type of computer hardware you have to run certain features. Here's how you can start planning for an upgrade to Windows Vista. You can upgrade from your current edition of Microsoft Windows XP or Windows 2000 to a corresponding or better edition of Windows Vista by purchasing and installing an upgrade copy of Windows Vista. You can upgrade in-place, which means you can install Windows Vista and retain your applications, files and settings as they were in your previous edition of Windows. If you upgrade to Windows Vista with a clean installation, you should use Windows Easy Transfer to automatically copy all your files and settings to an extra hard drive or other storage device, and then install Windows Vista. After the installation is complete, Windows Easy Transfer reloads your files and settings on your upgraded PC. You will then need to reinstall your applications. To make sure that everyone has an offering tailored to meet their specific needs, Microsoft are offering five different editions of Windows Vista.
