In case, you want to
upgrade the operating system, you can also try the technological concept called
the dual booting.
First determine which
operating system you have to install
Checking the requirements of the system
In case, you have
decided that you want installation of the new operating system, you can figure
out first the one you are going to use. The system requirements in the mac operating systems support vary. Be sure in case you have the old computer, whether you
can deal with the new operating system or not?

There
are window installations that need 1 GB of RAM and also the hard disc space of
15-20GB. If you want the particular operating system to run, your CPU has to be
powerful. Your computer should be able to accommodate. If the computer cannot
accommodate, then you will have to install the older one like the Windows XP.

Linux
operating system does not need the space and the computing power like the
Windows OS. There is variation of requirement that depends on the type of
distribution one selects.
Deciding whether to download or purchase
One has to purchase
the window license. Each license has a key that is good for one particular
installation. Many Linux distributions are free as far as the download and
installation is concerned. Some of the enterprise versions are closed and
require a purchase.
Software compatibility---do the research
The operating system
that you are ready to install has to support the programs that are to be put in
usage. In case, you are using Microsoft Office, you cannot install it on Linux
machine. One can get the substitute programs but with limited functionality.
