Hello, since i was a 15 year old boy i have this question in my head

What purporse did the Windows Vista Upgradable sticker do

Because all the PCs from Windows XP era just have enough space ram and cpu for running that specific version of Windows, no more no less, then Windows Vista released and there comes this sticker that is just for decoration because if we upgrade a windows xp pc to windows Vista we can see that half of the perfomance is gone, the sistem crashes at the startup, the cpu runs very hot, drivers does not work well, the HDD runs extremely hot and the sistem is not very stable so that sticker has no point

Change my mind in the replies.

This was during the launch of Windows Vista, boasting about how Vista is cross-compatible with new machines. However, this wasn't the case, as even after upgrading your machine would be more and more slower compared to your previous operating system, that being Windows XP.

XP was designed very well but vista announced so many things that the Windows Team forgetted about the system stability at all, imagine opening the windows menu and get a blue screen
