Installing Vista without minimum requirements

[twentyoneth]

Hello all, I was just wondering if there was a way to install vista without having it check for the minimum requirements. The reason, I would like to test it, no matter how slow on an old machine before putting it on my current one... And I don't have the spare parts to up the ram, so.....any ideas?

isnt the ram from your current machine compatible? or could you not buy a cheap 2nd hard drive?

The minimum requirements are usually laughable, so installing it with those or less will really make it crawl. I wouldn't even try it, personally.
That'd be like trying to install XP on a 300 MHz Pentium II with 64MB of RAM. Ain't gonna fly.

What are the specs on the PC you're trying to install it on?
