Windows Upgrade


Upgrading Windows can be a daunting task. You could potentially wipe out the entire hard drive if the upgrade process fails. Let us take care setting up Windows for you. We'll also configure Windows optimally to your usage and disable any unnecessary features that you do not benefit from.

Which version of Windows should you upgrade to? J&J Computer Service recommend Windows XP if your PC's hardware can support it. Windows XP is by far the most stable and feature rich operating system Microsoft has ever produced. To see the many features of Windows XP, click here.

Even though Microsoft's minimum system requirement for Windows XP is fairly low, we recommend a much higher system requirement for upgrading to Windows XP. The reason behind our higher recommendation is we don't want to see your system run sluggishly with Windows XP. Your system should have the following if you're considering upgrade to Windows XP:

  • Pentium III 500MHz or faster processor
  • At least 256MB of RAM
  • Video and monitor that supports 800x600 resolution or higher
  • CD-ROM or DVD-ROM
  • 10GB or more of free hard drive space.

If your system does not meet the above requirement, talk to us about upgrading it so that you can run Windows XP smoothly. In many cases, a simple memory upgrade is all you need, or you may want us to put a bigger hard drive so you can store a bigger playlist for Windows XP's new Windows Media Player.

Even though it is not necessary to have a network connection to run Windows XP. We highly recommend it so you can update your Windows XP system with the latest security patches.
