T
he Upgrade Advisor generates two types of
errors: blocking errors and incompatibility
warnings. Blocking errors are ones that prevent
you from running the installation program at all, such
as insufficient disk space or RAM. Incompatibility
warnings are generated either for hardware that may
need additional files marked with the red Do Not Enter
symbol or for software that does not support Windows
Vista marked with the yellow warning triangle. The
incompatibility warnings do not stop the upgrade
process, but the hardware and software may not
function properly, or at all, after the upgrade.
The Upgrade Advisor bases its findings on the
WHCL. The warnings do not mean that your existing
hardware or software will not work, only that
there are known problems that have been reported to
Microsoft, or that the particular hardware and
software has not been tested by Microsoft. In any
event, you should check the hardware and software
manufacturers’ Web sites to see if known problems
exist, or if updated components are available.
