Hi everyone,

I'm considering upgrading my IBM T60 to Win8. The machine is beefy enough, but my concern is that the hardware might not be supported. There doesn't seem to be a webcam, but there is a fingerprint device, touchpad, etc.

Is there a Win8 upgrade advisor, as there was with Win7?

Thanks,
p.

Thanks, cluberti. That article refers to a web setup program, but all I have is an .iso, which I don't think I can run from within XP?

Extract the ISO with something like 7zip or WinRAR, and you can run setup.exe from there. Good luck!
