    Additional requirements
    Actual requirements and product functionality may vary based on your system configuration. Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor can help you determine which features and edition of Windows Vista will run on your computer.

    While all editions of Windows Vista can support multiple core CPUs, only Windows Vista Business, Ultimate, and Enterprise can support dual processors.

    Home Premium / Ultimate
    TV tuner card required for TV functionality (compatible remote control optional).

    Home Premium / Business / Ultimate
    Windows Tablet and Touch Technology requires a Tablet PC or a touch screen.

    Ultimate
    Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption requires a USB Flash Drive and a system with a TPM 1.2 chip

    Does your machine meet these requirements. And why would you want to do this? Vista, esp. from upgrades, is a little buggy. XP with SP3 is still a very good OS>
