I will be getting Windows 7 Prof (retail) in December. Being on disability kind of limits when you get certain things. New video card in November and 7 in December, then my new build will be done. As of right now, I am running the Windows 8 RP build 8400 till I get Windows7. But, I really don't mind it. Really boots up fast and loads programs great. The only thing (problem) I have with it is. The old video card in here will reset from time to time. Even with the newest driver updates. I think it is a browser issue though, only happens when I am in a browser, doesn't matter which browser, I got FFox, IExplorer and Chrome. So I will be running this till December. Loaded this because with the type of my new motherboard it was easier than putting Windows XP Pro x64 back on. And I like testing programs.
