Vista

[Guest Ken]

I have got hold of another desktop which has got Windows XP, which I use all

the time but with this other machine it came with a copy of Vista Hom

Premium. My question is how long should it take to install as when I started

to install it said it would take up to 6 hours to install, Can anyone tell

me if that is rightplease?

Are you installing XP? That shouldn't take but a part of an hour. If the

Vista bit is correct, try asking in the Vista group.

Re: Vista

 

Ken;

What said it would take 6 hours?

 

Windows XP or Windows XP Pro?

Normally either one will take about an hour assuming retail media and a

Clean Installation.

An upgrade to Windows Vista will usually take signifficantly longer.

If you are using media provided with the computer by the manufacturer,

installation time depends on exactly how the OEM has set it up and you

should contact them for details.

 

Otherwise post back with more details in a Windows Vista newsgroup as

applicable:
