Also if you are buying a new PC get one with a 64 bit operating system. The 32 bit systems are being phased out and all new software is designed for the 64 bit systems. All the old software you have that was written for earlier versions of Microsoft Operating system software (Vista and earlier) may or may not work on the new 64 bit systems.
In a few years there will be collectors of old software on disks just like we have stamp collectors today.

My dad bought a computer a couple of weeks ago and he said the only one he found with a CD/DVD drive was HP (he was at Costco in California, so that's what was available to him).
