In this lesson, we'll show you how to install Windows Vista. After the install is finished you need to let Vista download and install updates. Then we show the Device Manager in Windows Vista, which is very similar to the one in Windows XP. We had a problem with a sound card driver, and we let Vista download and install the new driver. We also show a few extremely important updates for Vista that you must go and find. Whether your are building your first gaming PC yourself, a budget computer, or just interested in learning what goes into a computer these lessons will help you get there.

This lesson is part of a comprehensive series of lessons created by Home PC Builder that will guide you through the process of building your computer (including sets of video lessons for internal components, external components, installation, and setup).
