IE 10 Compatible with Windows Vista?

I have Windows Vista and was going to upgrade to IE 10 but when I went to do it, it said 10 is not compatible with my computer?

Anybody know anything about this?

No it's not compatible. I get the same error.


I have to use IE10 for my virtual desktop at work and so I've moved over to Chrome and Firefox for that.

I would also say that I was upgraded to IE10 at work and they immediately downgraded me to IE9 because 9 out of 10 things I was trying to do wasn't working. Much of the software and websites I use are not ready for IE10.

I would say that unless you really really need IE10, wait it out until it gets the kinks worked out.

The bugs should have been worked out of IE 10 a while ago. I am using IE 11 with my Window 7 computers.

I am using Google Chrome, and it is a much nicer browser. You can get extensions that block ads. You can import your favorites from IE, and if you are signed into your account see them on another computer.

Thank you ladies. There is a site that I need to use that wants IE10 but if I can't use it grrrr. I downloaded chrome once and I hated it. It changed my tool bar and all kinds things like that. I removed it.

I started to download firefox one time but I can't remember why that didn't work out.

Chrome doesn't change your toolbar by itself..........

I'm probably using the wrong word for toolbar. It changed the way my page looked and I didn't like that.

Re: IE 10 Compatible with Windows Vista?

You will find this to be a bigger problem as sites require newer browsers that aren't compatible with your operating system. It's one of the reasons not to run an outdated operating system like XP or Vista.

I also don't like Chrome and use Firefox. See if that browser works for you.
