Re: Windows XP The Countdown Begins
 
My Dell PC is only 8 years old- hardly run in. But it can't handle windows 8, I checked with Dell. And they say I can't update it either. So I'm stuck with XP. It does for me and it's a relief to read accymans post 3-you should be OK if you keep antivirus running.

There is always windows 7 not as memory hungry as vista so you may well be able to run it.
It's an alternative, depends how desperate you become in a years time.
Of all the windows bunch of upsy daisies this is the first I've enjoyed since windows 98.

Gordon, have you asked about updating to windows 7. Iam sure you can get an updating disk.

I have a Dell laptop Gordon, and I rang them about mine, they down loaded a start up button, so I now just ignore windows 8 and use it like a 7, whether you can do that with a desk top I don't know, but its been fine since I did it, very few head aches at all now.
