Microsoft Windows Vista has arrived
With the release of the new Microsoft Windows Vista operating system last month, upgrading your systems may well have crossed your mind. Though, upgrading to Vista requires higher levels of resources from your system. This means that most home computers as well as work computer systems will require hardware upgrades such as memory and graphics cards before installing Vista.
Microsoft have created a tool for consumers to check if their systems are compatible for Vista. The Upgrade Advisor is available to download to check for computer system.
Windows Vista may not be totally compatible with all of the software that is currently on your system. Our Microsoft Gold Certified technicians are on hand to advise and install any hardware and software requirements before upgrading to Vista.
