About the Windows Vista Compatibility Center
Look to this extensive collection of compatibility information when you upgrade to the Windows Vista operating system. And when you're ready for a new PC, you'll find the downloads you need to run your favorite software and devices.
Know what's compatible before you upgrade
Sometimes it's hard to know what's compatible and what's not. To help make it easier, we list thousands of products and clearly label their compatibility status for Windows Vista.

Labels help you easily identify a product's compatibility status.

Links under compatibility status labels direct you to a download, upgrade, or newer version.
