UPGRADING

Upgrading. Think carefully before upgrading your computer or your software. Replacing your hard drive with a bigger one means transferring your programs and data to the bigger hard disk which can be tricky. The most effective and trouble free upgrade would be to increase the amount of memory called RAM in your present computer.  Buying the latest printer could mean that you also have to buy a USB card and a USB cable. Carefully check the requirements of any new hardware or software because your present computer may not be able to cope with it.   Upgrading by buying the latest version of Windows may require new drivers for your printer, camera and scanner. Your computer may not be able to cope. For instance Vista needs 2Gb of RAM to operate at least a the speed of XP.

Upgrading software can be problematic, you may not have enough RAM memory, or your hard disk may be too small for the new program.
