You should be able to accomplish this task by buying a router. Install it in your main PC. Connect it to the inputs of your laptop and run Windows network setup. Like this you will be able to log onto the internet thru one
account. You now have your own network. I am pretty sure this is all you have to do but don't take it as the gospel truth.
Yes, if all your equitment is working correctly like your router and WIFI adapters are in range.
by the look of it it only works on xp not vista onwards...what a shame...
you would need to get almost any printer that's xp or vista compatible(some xp work) but since its a laptop i recommend that if your running on a wifi connection to get a wifi printer i seen a commercial today, hp wifi printers at office depot i think(maybe staples) there having a sale 30% off but i have seen cables for wireless adapters for older printers and you can always check with the manufacture to see if a updated driver for windows vista was made for your model of printer
The difference between windows XP and Vista are: The Box colors, instead of being solid colors, they're translucent. The Text on the boxes differ as well. You can also download widgets on the Vista. However, the XP is faster. vista is also trying to look/work like an i-mac with many small extras compared to xp although does not really work as is sort of half way between an imac and an xp
No. A WiFi Router is not needed to use a WiFi USB adapter. You just need the internet and a compatible PC/Laptop like Windows XP / Vista. Just plug the USB in while you have the internet running and you are on WiFi.
No, Vista is a later release than XP.
No. Due to the length of time between the releases of Windows XP and Windows Vista, as well as Windows Vista ditching support for some legacy technologies, there are many devices that will not function in Windows Vista but work in Windows XP.
XP, if you can scratch Vista and go for Windows 7
No. Obviously, if you upgrade to Windows Vista, you will have Windows Vista.
Yes, you can use wired internet, no way to connect to public wifi unless on the newer PCs like Vista or plain wifi until XP
Vista has DX 10 when WIndows XP doesnt. While Vista was suppose to be the upgrade to XP, it had a lot of problems during the first launch and it took awhile to fix everything. Vista is suppose to run faster, and use less resources on your system. But Vista failed and Microsoft then released Windows 7 as the replacement to Vista.
Windows XP is stable. Vista is not. While many of the features are meant to be useful, many of them end up hogging system resources; making you wish you had kept with XP. There will be updates to Vista in the upcoming future that fix it's shortcomings.
There is no legal method for upgrading from XP to Vista free of charge.
