I ran a Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor to see if my pc can run Vista. It can, and my Dad's willing to pay for it.

I'm not sure whether I should get it now, or wait until I can get a completely new computer. Next year I'll be studying IST at school, so I'll probably need a fast running computer for that.

Thoughts?

Wait for the new computer. Your not gaining/losing anything by waiting and keeping XP.

Wait till you get a new computer.  

 Unless the Vista upgrade adviser gave you perfect marks.


The only problem was that there's not enough room on my C drive. It said that I can alternatively use the D drive though.


Back up your data on the smaller drive, install on the bigger drive.

But like I said, unless you have a dedicated video card, decent processor, and 1.5-2gb RAM, then you might as well wait. You wont get any of the effects.

If you will be needing a new computer sometime soon just keep what you have.  

Vista is decent on a decent PC, not as bad as many make it seem.  But, wait if you will be getting something new soon.

Personally, I don't like Windows Vista.  There are so many bugs with it still.  Stick with XP, if you want my opinion.

Just get a new computer, one that has much better specs.
