Hi,

Installing the upgrade is easy. Start WinXP, insert the Vista upgrade DVD.
Follow the steps. No floppy is necessary, nor do you need to boot the system
from the installation disk. As with any upgrade, you should backup any
important data to removable media before beginning.

Thanks, Malke. As they say 'a picture paints a thousand words' Seeing a
pictorial view makes the general upgrade process less daunting.

There is also an illustrated guide to installing Visat on the site, too.
