I've recently acquired a Windows 8.1 Tablet and I was impressed by how Windows 8.1 worked so far. I was holding back on upgrading my desktop to Windows 8.1 but my current experience has now led me to the decision to update my desktop.
Before I make the jump, I have a few concerns. My desktop is a custom build that I did about a year ago. If you look at my system specs its a decent budget gaming desktop.
Here's a list of my few concerns:.
1. I misplaced the driver discs for my Motherboard (Asus). Is there any program that I can use to tell me the details of my motherboard so I know which driver I should download? I've seen a few from searching google but if there's a good program that anyone could suggest it would be most helpful.
2. Is 4GB RAM adequate for Windows 8.1? I plan to upgrade in the next few months (8GB) but will it cause an issue if I install Win 8.1 on my current setup?
3. Does Win 8.1 have a feature similar to what Win 7 had where you could download a WinXP virtual machine? I have a few older programs that are no longer updated that require WinXP.
Thanks in advance!
