Any computer that's running one of these systems (especially Win95), is likely to be old and slow enough that Vista would be a horrendous overload. -- Tim Slattery MS MVP(DTS) http://members.cox.net/slatteryt |

... Is it possible to migrate to Vista from Win95/98/Me ? MS answers yes; but most experienced users say this is the wrong question. The right questions a 1. What do we want to do that Vista will enable and that Win95/98/Me does not? 2. If we upgrade to Vista, will performance be acceptable: 2a. by comparison with our Win95/98/Me PC? 2b. by comparison with a PC designed for Vista? The two are related. E.g. are "3D menus" something you really want? And even if not, do you want to pay for 3D menus (in CPU cycles etc.) when you do not actuallly use or need them? -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

: Is it possible to migrate to Vista from Win95/98/Me ? Whatever you mean by "migrate" (officially upgrade - probably not, use the same machine - no way, unless you bought it a week ago, etc.) it would probably be more enjoyable to pull all your fingernails out with a pair of pliers, one by one. -- Disagreements and the usual insults expected and welcomed. |

I have the same issue. I see no where on this link where Windows 98 will be
able to be "Easy Transferred" to anew computer loaded with Vista.
