Hi. I have a Dell Optiplex 360 that came loaded with xp and vista. It also came with a windows 7 upgrade dvd.
I opted for xp and it has been running on xp. I need to upgrade to vista for obvious reasons. As mentioned, it is already installed on the computer but I have no clue how to go about switching the computer over from xp to vista. Can someone walk me through this or provide a link to a support article that has step by step instructions.
If possible, including how and what to backup first so I don't loose emails, favorites, docs, etc. that would be great too.
thanks!
I will eventually throw in the windows 7 upgrade dvd that came with the computer as well but I'm figuring vista needs to be the acting os before I can do that, right?
