    Installing Windows Vista


    This document provides general information that you should know before installing Microsoft® Windows Vista™.

    Installation instructions


    These are instructions for:

    • Upgrading Windows when you already have a version of Windows on your computer and you want to keep your files, settings, and programs.

    • Installing a new version of Windows when:

      • You want to replace your current operating system.

      • You have an operating system installed on your computer and you want to install Windows on an available, separate partition of your hard disk.

      • You have a computer with no operating system installed.

    Before you upgrade or install Windows:


    • Check the Windows package to make sure your computer meets the system requirements.

    • Have your Windows Vista installation disc (CD or DVD) ready.

    • Decide whether to install a 32-bit or 64-bit edition of Windows Vista. For more information, go to windowsvista.com/64-bit.

    • Find your 25-character Windows product key on your computer or on the installation disc holder inside the Windows package.

    • Update your antivirus program (if needed), run it, and then disable it. After you install Windows, remember to enable the antivirus program, or install new antivirus software that works with Windows Vista.

    • Write down the name of your computer if you will be connected to a network. If you’re running Windows XP, here’s how to find your computer’s name: Click Start, right-click Computer, and then click Properties. Your computer's name is displayed on the Computer Name tab.

    • Connect to the Internet. Make sure your Internet connection is working so you can get the latest installation updates. If you don’t have an Internet connection, you can still upgrade or install Windows.

    • Read “What you should know before installing Windows Vista” located near the end of this document.
