Hi, I am running windows 7 sp1 and im looking foward to "downgrade" to vista sp2
Processor: AMD A8-4500M APU with Radeon Hd Graphics
1.90 GHz
8.00 GB (7.48 usable) RAM
64-bit operating system
will my performance be better?
iv'e heard reviews that vista sp2 is more snappier than 7 sp1, is it true?
I also want to move because of the looks of vista.
No, your computer will be slower.
Don`t do it.
But if you`re set on doing it, just create another partition for Vista, don`t wipe out 7
Do you have a Vista activation key ?

That would be a great step back. If you want snappy, use Linux. The free Windows 10 TP is pretty fast too. But use that only as an alternate system. It is a pre-beta version although very stable.
As a general rule newer operating systems are faster then their predecessors. The idea that newer systems are bloated and slow is a myth not supported by the facts.
ADDRAM, Aw, I was really looking foward, but ok
I just want one operating system
I have a iso of vista though
I remember 7 felt lighter/snappier when i upgraded from vista.
Getting an ISO of a version of Windows is not an issue, you can easily download almost any version of 32 bit/64 bit Windows 7 Home/Premium/Professional/Ultimate straight from Microsoft; however, your product key is only valid for a very specific ISO/version of Win7...
The only reason I'd ever encourage the use of Vista over Win7 is if you are running an illegal/cracked version of Win7...
Agree to that. Windows 7 is a result of Microsoft's attempt to fix Vista.For an average joe, 7 is just a refined vista (or you can call it Vista SP3 in a sense).
Not going to get into an argument of how much better Win7 is than Vista -- but can say, that when I upgraded an old laptop from Vista to Win7, I immediately saw improvements in performance.
So, like the others, I would advise against going back to Vista.
