BACKUP ALL YOUR DATA BEFORE UPGRADING. To make sure your hardware is compatible with windows XP, you should check the windows 8 compatibility program NOT the 8.1 one. Google Download Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant . Some times the hardware may be compatible but the Upgrade may not work right, while reinstalling as new install with the upgrade disc would work on same computer.

Yes, should be no problem, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers.

Best thing to do is look to see if there is a driver offered by ATI for Win7 on that card. The one I have is still on an XP system. I hope so for when I change to Win7.

Thank you for telling me I should install Windows 7 Professional. If that's the case, then why does the text for the product say that it works with Vista and XP?

No. I wouldn't count on any of the drivers working. You most likely will have to download a generic driver or let windows update find it for you

It should be fine as long as you use the manufacturer drivers. the edition of Windows XP you're using doesn't really matter beyond the fact that you have service pack 3 which is the best you can have. Not sure what adapter you used before, but it would be strange indeed if it cared about so minor a detail as the edition of windows xp you're using.

If you had a windows 7 disk and key, it should not be a problem. Do a quick google search though. I know on the past the difference between xp and vista/7 there was a chipset driver that needed installed with it which lead to a giant hassle. As long as the chipsets are the same you are good to go.

as far as drivers. can you download them. like DX 10 or 9. or do you have to buy a new graphics card. when i put vista on it. not the upgrade version. but the OS on the hard drive. i took out the XP drive, and put in Vista. and the ratting for games are 1.0 is the XP better

I didn't install it yet but it most likely would be driver dependent. However, it will be a standard driver built into win 8.

Using it successfully with Win 7 home. Win 7 saw it without driver disk use. Don't know re 8.1.

I went to the following web site to download Win8 drivers and software... http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc;=en&dlc;=en&product;=5070121I don't know if it was necessary, but I just assumed that win8 would need updated software/downloads.

Sorry, I'm still quite happy with Windows 7 so haven't personally tested it. That said, their latest driver claims to be compatible with Windows 8.

No software to install. Windows will install default drivers and then go to the internet to find updates and correct drivers. It takes a minute or two to complete.
