Upgrading to Windows Vista

[ComputerCrazy2]

My Hp laptop is currently running Windows XP Professional, Media Center Edition, with 80GB and 512MB. I've been thinking about buying Windows Vista Home Basic and upgrading to it, but I can't seem to decide if I really want to. Is there really much point in it, or should I just stick to what I have?   And if I did upgrade to it, what would happen to all my files and pictures and music, would they be gone or would all my stuff still be there?  And also, all my computer games and stuff that was made before Vista, would they work?     Thanks

You actually need a modern computer to meet the
requirements to run Vista properly.Most people
who have used Vista recommend at least 1GB of
ram.


I would stay with Windows XP.

You can however download Windows Vista upgrade

I think your graphic card must be upgraded to support Windows Vista but it is recommended that you don't upgrade as some of the programs are not compatable

You can't really do much to upgrade laptops.
