I am just wondering whether there is any way that I can install Vista Home Premium without losing all of my HD data from Vista Home Basic OS? I have just bought the Home Premium.

I just bought a new computer with windows vista home premium. I downloaded limewire and as expected I don’t have the proper codecs to play any videos. I know Klite codecs (Full) works on it but when I install it I don’t know what boxes I should check or uncheck to make sure all videos will play. Because when I just install it without checking any boxes it still won’t play any videos. Please be very specific and detailed when responding. To all Thank You!

I want to put windows xp pro on my laptop instead of windows vista because windows downloads very slow and plays videos very slow. Has anyone else had this problem with windows vista and done the same?
