My good non-hp PC that died around thanksgiving is installing XP atm :D I want to put Vista Home Premium on there from my original HDD in the hp machine, but I can't get it to burn a Vista disc?Could I install it if I hooked up that HDD to the other PC and moved Vista onto it? No, it's not just the installation of Vista, I have a seperate recovery partition that I have used before to reinstall Vista with.

When it comes to stability, XP is 2x better than Vista

The only reason I want Vista is to upgrade to 7 when I get it.

Ah. Just throwing in my opinion. Migrating vista via a hard-drive image/mirror might work. Copy-Paste won't work.

I disagree immensely. If you have a good PC, Vista will run just fine.

Agreed. I have no beef with windows, and no beef with vista. Both have worked fine for me in the past.

you don't need vista to upgrade from, you can upgrade from xp also

Yep and upgrade is generally bad thing, a fresh clean install is the best to insure operability. All you need is a valid activated XP or Vista to check from and you can do a fresh install.

You can't upgrade Xp to Windows 7. You can use a Windows 7 upgrade disc to install Windows 7 though. It will format the drive and full install. You have to use the Custom option then follow directions. Backup any important files to another drive or form of media.

yup +1 Ripley and Shuffler, my mistake I should have said you can but can't upgrade from XP, Windows 7 does a full install which is better anyhow. I have said this before but I run a dual OS windows 7 and kept my XP Pro.
When putting in a new OS I like to always clean install because I will mirror the new OS. As i add the updates , peripherals and drivers, application software, I will make more mirror images till I am done. Ever have problems just go back to my mirror image and reinstall.

I think if you have a good PC it will run vista, yeah, but it will also run XP better.

Nothing to do with a good pc when the code sucks. Vista is annoying.
