I have a Dell XPS 630, running windows vista 64 bit. It has a quad core q6600 cpu, with 4 gigs of ram NVidia GeForce GTX 560, windows explorer says the hard drive is 594 Gigs, but I think it was a 650 when I ordered the computer... probably a hidden partition but that isn't really important. I'm curious will my computer run window 8?
The only reason I am thinking of upgrading to windows 8 is this computer hasn't been formatted since I got it about 4 years ago. And it takes a few minutes to boot up now. (haven't timed it to know exactly how long).
I know I asked if it will run windows 8, but also how well will it run? Will it be slower or faster then windows vista?
On a sub-note: i have never had a real problem with vista (with the obvious exception that things are now running slow, but i don't think that is an o/s issue, i think that is just the computer needs to be cleaned up).
