Hi, I am planning on learning Sharepoint 2010. My laptop has windows vista ultimate (32 bit) service pack 2, 4 GB Ram, 320 GB Hard Disk, Processor : Intel Core2Duo CPU T5800 @2.00 GHz. With the above config, Is there anyway i can learn Sharepoint 2010? I tried downloading Sharepoint 2010 VHD. It requires Windows Server 2008 R2 so i downloaded that. When i was trying to Install Windows Server 2008 R2, it said you need 64 bit machine to install it. So, i am clueless now what to do. Is there any workaround than upgrading my laptop? Please suggest. Thanks

Hi, use virtuabox or WMWare(you can virtualize 64-bit) and use the .vhd. Cheers,Daniel Bugday Web: SharePoint Forum Blog: SharePoint By Bugday Twitter: Follow me on Twitter Technet: My Ask The Exert Area On Technet
