If you have the intall disc, you will be directed to the microsoft site which will scan your computer to see if it is capable of running the program.
I personally will not switch to this trial version of vista because some of the programs I use regularly are not yet supported on this operating system.

Windows Vista requires a DUO Core Processor or Dual Core Processor....IF your laptop has this, you can run it!

Just barely, maybe, but probably not to your satisfaction.

You need atleast a dual core and 1 gig of RAM to run it decently.

No I wouldn't try it you haven't got enough memory or disk space.
