Software upgrades can often be critical to the efficiency and proper usage of your computer. Upgrades can however be difficult to perform and can even cause data loss and permanent damage to your computer if not done properly.

The Computer Hospital has very specific procedures that we use in order to ensure proper installation of any software upgrades, whether for a third party program, or your current operating system.

Microsoft offers upgrades of their Windows operating systems, which can greatly expand your computer's capabilities. However before you can upgrade your computer, your system has to be checked and verified to ensure that it meets the requirements for the upgrade.

For more information and advising on this, one can download the Windows Upgrade Advisor “a tool that checks your system hardware and software to see if it is ready for upgrade to Windows XP.”
