The latest Acer systems are preloaded with Windows Vista®. However, if you have purchased a Windows® XP-based Acer system, you can upgrade to Windows Vista® if the system meets Windows Vista® Capable PC requirements.
To ensure that the Windows® XP-based Acer system you purchased meets Windows Vista® Capable PC or Windows Vista® Premium Ready PC requirements, please refer to the following tables.
 To help you identify Windows Vista® Capable PCs, Windows® XP-based Acer desktops that meet the minimum system requirements will carry the Windows Vista® Capable logo sticker on the machine casing.
System specifications may vary depending on configurations. Set it up starting from 1 GB of system memory (RAM), 128 MB of video RAM (or shared system memory) and DVD-ROM drive to meet Windows Vista® Premium Ready PC requirements, or 512 MB of RAM to meet Window Vista® Capable PC requirements. Visit http://global.acer.com/support/win_vista.htm to learn more.
Please make sure the power cable/AC adapter (for selected models) is properly plugged into the computer and the power outlet. The first-time startup and setup for Windows Vista® takes about 30 minutes. Do not power-off or reset your desktop during the startup/setup process.
To help you identify Windows Vista® Capable PCs, Windows® XP-based Acer notebooks that meet the minimum system requirements will carry the Windows Vista® Capable logo sticker on the palm rest.
