I would not go to Windows 8.1, to many uncertainties with Dragon and Windows compatibility! For stability and reliability I would use Dragon 12.0 and Windows 7 professional 64 bit edition. I'm currently running Windows 7 and Dragon 11.5 with no issues or concerns. It takes time for Dragon and Windows to work out little bugs or issues between them. Also the 64 bit edition will allow you to run over 4 GB of memory and I recently saw Dragon on sale for $100 that is 50% off. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yi6RmGvGuk
this is my computer set up that I purchased the parts and had a good computer buddy put it all together for me. AMD CPUs are the most cost-effective and have been running this set up nearly 18 months. Let me know if you have any other questions and whatever you do do not go to Best Buy's or anyone else like that!

I don't like Windows 8 – especially the tablet-ready touchscreen part of it, for which I have to use a mouth-operated mouse anyway. I mostly ignore that mode. Don't need it. But Dragon works great in the regular "desktop mode" of Windows 8. Of course, you have to have a mighty powerful computer with lots of RAM… Feel free to email me with other questions.

What version of Dragon are you using? Do you recommend updating? Thanks, Dave Krehbiel
