I agree with Christopher, If you add a Start Menu replacement app Windows 8.1 is perfect. Runs faster then Windows 7 on the same hardware as well.
Although, I prefer Start8, even though it cost $5.00. -----Original Message----- From: Hardware [mailto:hardware-boun...@lists.hardwaregroup.com] On Behalf Of Christopher Fisk Sent: Monday, July 7, 2014 7:01 AM To: hardw...@lists.hardwaregroup.com Subject: Re: [H] OB's new desktop PC Frankly, just throw a start menu replacement into Windows 8 and use that. IMO no reason to stay on 7 or try hunting down windows 7 installers if you're getting a windows 8 license with your PC anyways at this point.
