I am planning on upgrading my computer to Windows Vista at the end of the
year, because some games I want to get work with DirectX10 and the fact that
it is the most recent version of Windows. There are, however, three questions
I have about it:
1. When you install Windows Vista, does it remove all of the XP updates that
were downloaded from Windows Update? Since Vista would have no use for these,
I'm assuming it might, but I'm not sure if it does (Lol, you know what they
say about why you shouldn't "assume")
2. Would you recommend I simply upgrade my system to Vista, or should I do a
clean install? I have DVD-R's to back up my music, videos, and such, but I am
concerned about losing the user names and passwords stored in my system (I
don't have all of them written down) Which leads me to question 3:
3. Is there a way in Windows XP to look at the user names and passwords
stored on the system? Not only do I have passwords saved in Firefox, there
are one or two games that, when I play them online, require these. Or, can I
copy and paste them and then look at them on word? (I don't think you can
with passwords, but I'm not sure.)
Any advice will be appreciated. Before I upgrade to Vista, I definitely plan
to get a new video card (eVGA 512MB 8600GTS) and 4GB of ram for my XPS 400
System, which should make Vista run smoothly.
