Best Answer

Vista is just a version of Windows; the version after Windows XP and before Windows 7. If a machine is Vista-ready or Vista-compatible, it just means that the hardware and available drivers are compatible with Windows Vista. You might be able to run that PC on Windows 7 or 8, but it depends, and you would have to check with the manufacturer to find out what all it is compatible with.

Where is the reset button on vista computer?

Vista is not a computer, vista is an Operating System. Vista has nothing to do with where the reset button is. If you click on the Start button (normally in the bottom-left corner of the screen), there should be on option there that says 'Restart' or 'Shutdown.'

What is the Processor Speed in VISTA?

The processor's speed depends on the processor, not the operating system. To view your computer system's properties (processor's specifications among other things) go to "my computer." There you should see something that says "System Properties" or something to that effect (I can't remember exactly what it says on vista, since I use Windows 7 now). Hope that helps!
