To upgrade to Windows Vista

Installing and reinstalling Windows During the installation process, you will need:

. Your Windows installation disc (DVD or CD).
. Your Windows product key (25 characters). You can find your product key on your computer or on the installation disc holder inside the Windows package.
. The name of your computer. You will need to provide this if your computer is currently connected to a network. If you’re using Windows XP, here’s how to find your computer name:
. Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties. The computer name is displayed on the Computer Name tab.

You will also need to decide whether to install a 32-bit or 64-bit edition of Windows Vista. Before installing Windows, be sure to disable all antivirus software and back up your files to an external hard disk, a DVD or CD, a USB drive or a network folder. See more here:
