One of the challenges that are experienced in upgrading from Windows XP to Windows Vista is that of hardware compatibility. Windows Vista comes with advanced graphical features and requires a higher display resolution due to its Windows Aero interface. Windows XP does not require high resolution when compared to Vista. There will be the need to check the installation of Windows Vista in the computer to be installed before anything takes place. This will be achieved by making use of Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor.
Another challenge that will be encountered is that of business application compatibility. Although it is possible to migrate applications that were installed in XP, there will be the need to install updates in most of them so that they function well in Microsoft Vista. There will be the need to use the application plug-in to check if an application can be installed.
