Microsoft Windows XP – System Requirements

Occasionally, however, users need help to install Windows XP or troubleshoot an installation. If you are working in a corporate environment, chances are high that a network administrator will have an automated (or semi automated) installation method in place, so you must be familiar with the types of automated installations that you may encounter. If you are supporting a home user or a small network, it is more likely that you will help users install Windows XP from CD-ROM, so you must be familiar with the decisions that must be made during installation.

System Requirements

Before installing Windows XP, you must determine whether the computer meets the minimum hardware requirements for the installation. The hardware requirements for Windows XP Professional and Windows XP Home Edition are as follows:

- CPU It requires a 233 MHz Intel Pentium II/Celeron or AMD-compatible processor, although a 300 MHz processor (or higher) is strongly recommended. Windows XP Professional supports up to two processors.

- Memory Microsoft Windows XP requires a minimum of 64 MB of random access memory (RAM), although 128 MB or more is recommended. Generally, the more memory a computer running Windows XP has, the better the performance. Windows XP supports a maximum of 4 GB of RAM.

- Hard disk space It requires 1.5 GB of free space for installation. However, you may need additional disk space depending on the applications and features you choose to install.

- Display It requires a Super Video Graphics Array (SVGA)-compatible or better display adapter, with a monitor capable of 800 x 600 resolutions.

- Input devices The computer must have a keyboard and a Microsoft Mouse, Microsoft IntelliMouse, or other pointing device.

- CD-ROM The computer must have a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive if you will be performing Setup from CD-ROM.

- Floppy disk drive The computer must have a high-density 3.5” drive if you will be performing Setup across the network using a network client or boot disk or if your computer does not support booting with the Microsoft Windows XP installation CD.

- Network adapter card The computer must have a network adapter card appropriate for your network if you will be performing Setup from a network installation point.

How to Install and Run Microsoft Vista

All of a sudden, nearly everyone wants to install and run Microsoft Vista. Installing alone however, may not be such an easy task. There are several things that you may need to look into before actually buying a Windows Vista version and installing it. These concerns are, of course, related to the Vista version you decide to get and the kind of installation procedure you decide to take.

Your first step should be to check if our hardware fits the requirements for the Vista system. You can only look into your installation options once you are certain that you have met the hardware requirements for whatever Vista version you have.

Upgrade Installation

Upgrading from a previous Windows edition has both been a popular and a controversial issue. Some may advice an upgrade while others think it?s a bad idea. Those against it believe that an upgrade version provides less quality. The choice is ultimately yours. Before you upgrade, take a look at your operating system edition. The following non-clean installation upgrades will apply except for 64-bit versions:

? A Windows XP Home Edition can be upgraded to Vista Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate versions.

? Thirty-two bit Windows XP Professional can be upgraded to Vista Business and Ultimate versions.

? Windows XP Tablet PC Edition can be upgraded to Vista Business and Ultimate.

? Windows XP Media Center 2005 Edition can be upgraded to Windows Home Premium and Ultimate versions.

To upgrade, run Windows XP and simply put in your installation disc. With an upgrade you can still generally have your programs, files and settings after installation.

Clean Installation

If you do not qualify for an upgrade then you have to go for clean installation. This means, of course, that you need to create a back up copy of all your files first since you will loose all files and personal settings after installation.

Install by first inserting your Vista disc and then booting your computer. Make sure that the interactive setup is in running mode and then format your hard drive.

Dual-boot Installation

You may want to test Vista first if it will work for you or you may simply just want to keep your XP system around. In this case, you may go for a dual-boot installation. For dual booting, you need at least two partitions, one for XP and the other for Vista. Both partitions can only accommodate one system. If you only have one partition, you need a partitioning tool to help you out.

A dual boot installation will let you choose between your two operating systems every time you open your computer.

Virtual Computer Installation

You can also have access to both XP and Vista if you have a virtual window running Vista. This will be very convenient for you but it can also get complicated. You do need a very high end computer with a RAM capacity of 2 GB. You also need to download and install both a utility for a virtual set up and Vista beta.
