• Windows 8 has greater hardware requirements than Windows Vista, so you may be able to depending on your computer's configuration. The minimum system requirements for Windows 8 can be found in the following article on Microsoft's official support site: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/system-requirements

  I would recommend:

• It depends on the computer you are using. If you are still using Vista, I am guessing that you are using a much older computer that you will find woefully short on resources for Windows 8. It needs a large hard drive and a lot of RAM. And, for what it's worth, Windows 8 is a terrible operating system. You will be much happier with Windows 7.
