    Keep Basic or up to premium?

    Hi all I might be getting a new PC with Vista Basic on it but the PC will
    have 1024mb RAM so I cant decide whether to stick with the basic edition or
    upgrade using Windows anytime to Home premium. I want the fastest as
    possible running PC so I am thinking Basic with 1024MB RAM. What do others
    think I should do?

    Its a shame that they never built it in the way that if you wanted to roll
    back from Premium to Basic you could do this easily ..... or have they? - is
    there a way?

    Thanks,



    Andy.

    All versions of Windows Vista perform equally well. If you wish
    to upgrade to another edition of Vista, just remember that
    you'll have to pay for the upgrade license.

    Hi, Andy
    If you had thought ahead, you would have imaged your hard drive before
    booting it up for the first time. That image could truely return the laptop
    to its 'out of the box' condition.
    Its not too late -- you could image the hard drive now, and use that image
    to recover your computer to its current state if you wanted to return to
    Basic from Premium.
