Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor

Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor is a very easy to use software tool designed to help you determine whether your computer can run Windows Vista or not.

The application automatically scans your computer and checks installed software and hardware for any compatibility issues that may appear after installing Windows Vista.

With a very appealing interface, Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor shows a detailed feature comparison screen once the scan comes to an end, letting you know which Vista version is more appropriate for your computer.

It gives you the power to check each component individually, providing information on system, installed devices, applications and task list. Of course, it checks the existing hardware and the programs currently installed on your system to make sure everything's compatible with Vista, offering a series of recommendations to help you tackle any problem that may occur.

As you can see, Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor is very easy to use and the number one element that makes everything a breeze is the interface. It boasts two back and forward buttons at the top of each window for easy navigation, plus eye-candy tabs and a great layout to display all collected information to every user.

Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor is not at all a resource hog, although it may slow down the system a little bit when checking for compatibility issues. That's why it's highly recommended to avoid using the computer until the process comes to an end.

Overall, Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor is undoubtedly the number one application you must run before actually upgrading to Windows Vista. It provides a great amount of information and although it doesn't tell you how smooth Vista could run on your system, it detects both hardware and software compatibility issues.
