Windows Vista Installation

I am trying to upgrade from Windows ME to Windows Vista. I can't download the
upgrade advisor nor can I get the Windows Vista (Home Basic Edition) to start
up. What do I need to do?

Hi

A) You can't upgrade from WinME to Vista, it's not a supported path. You'd
have to do a clean installation.

B) The upgrade advisor will not run under WinME, so downloading it will not
help.

C) A WinME era machine is unlikely to have sufficient hardware
specifications to run Vista. Please provide these along with the make and
model, and the motherboard or system manufacturer.

WindowsME is also not a qualifying OS, so you will have to purchase a FULL
version of whatever edition of Vista you want.
