Don't want to order and get some thing in a Timber frame without glass.

my windows7 was imbedded on a computer i bought from OZ.,.,to the contrary , I have never had any problems with it and I am looking forward to upgrading to windows 8 , (with touch screen capabilities)., obviously the computer must have the screen abilities for this..In all upgrades you must first check your computer can deal with this., that used to be done on the windows download site., but i dont know now. I am sure all O/S have their problems!!!!!
CHEERS.!!!!!

Gene,

Even if bought at the mall, I would say it's less than a 1% chance that it's a genuine copy. Counterfeits are everywhere in the phils.

Just my opinion.

Got W7 64 (5,300 P ) looks like it is a CD that goes with new PC such as lap tops, works ok execept I can't get the scanner to work or the Dumb card reader tp work so can't d/load any pics, Cam does have a mini USB but can't find any where to buy one other than that W7 seems ok got it from Octagon? sent 2 emails to Enigma but no reply so they did me a favour.
W8 I am told is for touch screens so will stick with this until windows 29 comes out.

XP runs out 2013 thtas is no more upgrades or help from MS.

W7 seems to be the best yet from what I have read..MS are offering a deal you can upgrade to W8 for $15 when it comes out think OCT. from W7.

I am 4 MB short of the 1GB required to run 7 XP does all I need so maybe wait a few more months until 8 and the bugs have been sorted.

Has a look on Sulit for 7 and there are all sorts of deals saying their version is legit so how do you tell.
thanks

I upgraded to Windows 7 Pro @ 64 bit and I have had no problems at all.

I order all my parts from NewEgg.com. Of course I still live currently in Utah USA. I built this computer I'm using now and used a 1 TB HD Western Digital. No problems over past 1 yr thank goodness!
