Hi,

I've just upgraded my V2M to Vista. I can tell you one thing; you need a LOT of memory, desite Vista telling me it'd be enough. So check that first.

As for drivers, most of the preinstalled XP drivers should work. But if you need updated drivers just check in the support section. Don't know if there are any for your model; there were none for the V2M.

Don't know about the educational version, but I expect it'd be very basic.

Vaio Zone will still work after you've reinstalled it.

Hi James,

You may find this VGC-V2M Upgrade thread of interest..

I have now done this and can confirm that the V2M does accept 2GB RAM! :smileygrin:
