You must first ensure your hardware is capable of running Vista. Check with
Microsoft. Your computer should exceed the minimum requirements.
You just insert the dvd.

It's also a good idea to check the manufacturers site for your favourite
programs/games and your printer etc to make sure they are all vista
compatible.

Bear in mind that the "minimum requirements" are the theoretical
minimums, and not at all the minimums required for adequate
performance. If your configuration is "well above" those minimums, it
may be fine, but you'd be a lot safer if you posted what you have and
give us a chance to evaluate them.
