Is vista xp a type of computer?

"Vista XP" is not a computer type. Vista and XP are both previous versions of the Windows operating system. The current version of Windows is Windows 8.1.


I have Vista Home on my computer and want to install Windows XP Professional and be able to run both systems.?

The easiest way is to format the system partition and install Windows Xp and then Vista. If you install Xp after Vista you might have to edit BOOT.INI manually. I beleave Vista will not allow you installing Xp when it's runnning. So you need a bootable XP (and Vista Home) CD/DVD. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Actually it is possible to run both Windows XP and Windows Vista on the same computer but you will have to set up a Dual Boot setting up 2 partitions, formatting them to NTFS format, then installing XP on the first partition then Vista on the second.

Is windows XP Vista better than just Windows Vista or is it the same thing?

There is no such thing as "Windows XP Vista." There is Windows XP and there is Windows Vista. They are two different versions of the Windows operating system (XP is older than Vista). As to which is better (XP or Vista) if that is your question -- I think most people would say that XP is better, but this probably depends on which operating system you are used to and what type of work you do with the computer. That said, even Windows Vista is out of date, now. New machines will have Windows 8 (or Windows 7 if it is slightly older).


What website can you go to to download something that can make your windows xp LOOK like Windows Vista without slowing down your computer?

The special effects that Windows Vista uses are the primary reason Vista is considered slower than Windows XP. It is simply not possible to add these effects to XP without experiencing slowdown. In the Related links section below, you will find a download page for the "Vista Transformation Pack", the most popular of the "XP to Vista" themes.
