Quote - @ ArtByMivan..I guess try and try again as Bec got it up on a latop....good to hear someone got it on....be a while before I change from Win7 myself....too expensive if I wanted to take advantage of the cool stuff...this monitor wouldn't do it I fear....so it'd be a whole new system purchace....not on my pension....

Tell me about the pension stuff! Anyway I am rapidly falling in disfavour of win 8 and its marketing pages but we got this machine as "open box" from Worstbuy for under $400. So can I install a second HD with an older OS or do I need another tower? Got an old HP dual quad but it probably needs a new HD as I think the old one got maxy virused. The MB is slotted for 16megs of Ram but we could never get it to find the additional 8 megs. Been looking at the ASUS on Walmart.com. for under $500 that will supposedly take 32megs and I have 16 in stock.
