Pre Scan/Compatibility tool

Hi All,
I have around couple of dozens of PC/Laptop with XP on them and I want to
migrate
Is there a tool that show if a specific PC/Laptop is Vista compatible
regarding both hardware and software?
Thanks a lot in advance

The Vista Upgrade Advisor.

It is a good place to start but you also need to check online with the mobo
and laptop mfgs to see if Vista drivers are available for all the devices.
You should also determine if the software to be used is Vista compatible or
if new versions are available which run on Vista.
