Hi, I am currently running Windows XP, but it's not a valid copy. I don't like this. Every time I try to update the new Internet Explorer or Media Player, I can't. If I buy Windows Vista, do you think I will have any problems when I install it?
Thanks in advance.

In a word, no.

No problems that is....so much for a word.

The Vista installer looks for a previous installation, not a valid serial with it. IFAIK....

If you buy straight up Vista you will have no problems.

If you buy a Vista Upgrade, you will have problems.

it's been pointed out before that vista upgrade will have no problem with pirated XP - microsoft said that the XP installed does not have to be validated so there should be no problem with upgrading.

When going to Yongsan using underground passage, the guy selling pirate software at the end has Vista for 30,000 won. Give it a try.
