This Forum on Windows Vista!!!

Unread post by cat »

I installed Windows Vista on my Dell XPS M1330! It was hard enough as I had to install drivers, and Vista was unactivated so I literally had to do the phone activation (which worked!!!) Then, I installed Vista SP2 and put the Supermium setup onto a USB drive which I then plugged in and installed on the laptop which is how I am writing this now!

Believe it or not, I didn't need to install any Wi-Fi drivers, the wireless card in the laptop just worked straight away! :yellow_biggrin:

Whoaaa that's cool!!! Always wanted to try doing something like this with a virtual machine, doing it on real hardware is some commitment
