 Windows XP to Vista Upgrade - pete4344
About 5 years ago I bought a laptop with Windows Vista Business with the option to downgrade to XP Pro. Because at that time I had quite a few old programs, I thought XP Pro would be best option so downgraded to this.

Now that XP support is nearing its end, I am wondering whether I should go the other way and revert back to Vista Business, as I still have the recovery disk, and this would give me another few years of support.

Changing to Vista would be a bit of a pain, as I would presumably have to reload all the other software and back up all data. Because the laptop is 5 years old, I suspect it wouldn't be a good idea to buy a Windows 7 or 8 upgrade.

Does anyone have an opinion in whether it would be worth upgrading to Vista, or should I just take a chance and stick with XP until a new computer becomes necessary?
