8.1 will fit on that one, but Martin's right...it's kinda big. I have
8.1 on mine, and my system folder is 84 mb in size (but I have a 500 mb
hdd in mine)
It runs quite acceptably in 36 megs of ram with VM on.
This said, I've not pared my system folder down to the essentials, so
I'm not sure what a minimal 8.1 install will take.
