LonghornXP Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I have a Vista laptop with all the updates installed and this is the last year where Microsoft support Windows 7, Server 2008 and Server 2008 R2 with ESU (Extended Security Updates). Since Server 2008 is a server counterpart of Vista, I'm wondered if Server 2008 ESU Updates installed in Vista. Can someone help me with the project?

XPHomeSP3 Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 I am considering installing Vista into a dual-boot environment on an older laptop that currently has Win 10 on it. What size would you or any other readers here recommend I create for the partition that will have the Vista install? I don't want to have wasted space since very little besides the OS will be installed on this partition but I also don't want to have the bare minimum required for the install either.

XPHomeSP3 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 I was thinking along the lines of 60 GB as well, but I’m wondering if I could get away with 40 GB instead? Also, would the decision to install the 64 bit vs. the 32 bit version of Vista have any impact on the ultimate size of the partition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
