New Computer

digg98 · 07-06-2008, 12:51 AM

I have a new computer coming in the mail that I will be building myself. This is my first time building one. How does the software work? Will I just be able to install windows vista and be ready to go with the drivers and all that? How does that work?

You'll have to install windows, and all of the parts should have driver discs with them. Or you can use the current computer you're on right now, and download the newest drivers (the ones on the included discs aren't the newest), and burn them to a CD, and then use those after you get done building the computer, instead of installing old drivers, then installing new ones.

hey ofcourse man ,
i dont think u would have many issues here ,
just pop in the bootable vista disk , n follow instructions
most of the drivers have in built support , so u wont need to manually do much ,
later u can upgrade if drivers are not new !!
thazz bout it i guess !!
good luck
