There are two ways to install Microsoft Windows Vista: the easy way and the right way. What’s the easy way? Boot your system and run an upgrade installation after Windows XP starts. But an upgrade installation is a big mistake. Here’s why: Windows Vista is no mere rehash of Windows XP—it’s a brand-new operating system in every way. As a result, an upgrade installation takes up to three times longer than a clean install and guarantees that your “new” operating system inherits whatever’s wrong with your current installation. Besides, you’re probably running software that won’t work with Windows Vista.
You’re much better off with a clean install. If you’re worried about wiping your drive, relax. In the next section, we’ll tell you how to get your old system ready. Besides, if you’re paranoid, you can always buy a new hard disk with plenty of room for Vista for less than $100. How much system does Vista want? A 3GHz or faster Pentium 4 or Pentium D, a 2GHz or faster Core 2 Duo, or a 2GHz or faster Athlon 64 or Turion 64 (x2 versions preferred) will work. Add 2GB of RAM and a DirectX 9 videocard (no wimpy integrated graphics, please!) and you’re ready to go.
