Check Hardware and Software Compatibility
Before you
upgrade to Windows� 2000, use the resources on Microsoft.com
to assess the readiness of your system to make sure your
hardware and software will run on Windows 2000. Search for
computers, hardware devices, and software applications that
are compatible with Windows 2000, and find out what steps you
may need to take before upgrading.
|
Analyze your system for potential
problems
The
Windows 2000 Readiness Analyzer tool analyzes your system and reports
potentially incompatible hardware devices and software
applications. The tool compares the devices and applications
on your system against a list of known issues.
Although this check also occurs during Windows 2000 Setup, you
can run the tool before installing Windows 2000 to help
ensure your installation will succeed.

BIOS Compatibility in Windows 2000
Finding
out if your BIOS (basic input/output system) is
compatible with Windows� 2000 is important for two
reasons:
- You
might not be able to use the advanced power
management and device configuration features in
Windows 2000 if you do not have the most current
BIOS version for your system.
- If
your computer manufacturer has indicated that you
need a new BIOS and you do not update it, or you
install the wrong BIOS version, your computer may
stop working properly. Please be aware that
installing an incorrect BIOS update may cause
serious damage to your computer system. Review the
Question and Answer document below to find out
more about BIOS compatibility and Windows 2000.
