Report Using Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor
June 17, 2007 | Microsoft, Software, Vista | Comments OffSince I post how to make a Windows Vista DVD and steps to upgrade Vista, I run the windows Vista upgrade advisor installer to know my Axioo laptop have some issue or not when upgrade it.
The installation pretty easy, just click twice, next and finish. Run the program and a window will opened. Just klik the button “Start Scan” and wait for several minutes. Oh I forgot, you must have an internet connection to run the advisor program.
The first issue that I must concern about the free space storage. I need 15 GB of free hard disk space to install Windows Vista on this drive and I just have 6.97 GB free space 
The advisor recommend at least 40 GB for Windows Vista and it’s really surprising me since Windows XP only need only 1.5 GB for installation and I just split my hard drive for drive C only 20GB.
The second issued is the system memory of my Axioo laptop, they recommend me to upgrade my RAM at least 1GB to ensure optimal performance for the Windows Aeroâ„¢ user experience, TV recording, high-end gaming, photo editing, and multimedia programs. So I must add another 512MB of DDR2 and it’s around $40 per pieces.
For my CPU, DVD and video card there are no action required. As you know my CPU is Genuine Intel® CPU T2050 @ 1.60GHz Core Duo with DVD-RW. The Mobile Intel® 945GM Express Chipset Family video card support the Windows Aeroâ„¢ user experience and it’s really suprising me since as I know Vista need higher graphic card to run Aero.
Other harware that need to update after upgrade to Vista are the realtek soudcard, realtek fast gigabut ethernet, motorola fax modem bison webcam NB Pro and the integrated flashmedia controller.
For the software there are several must be need attention for the compatibility. Sony Ericsson PC Suite, Power DVD 5, Nero BurningRom&Vision, PowerQuest Partition Magic 8.0, MSN Messenger,
