I am a 88 year computer novice old OAP and a friend has given me his old Toshiba Laptop I have done the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant System Check and apart for programmes and and a few things that I have to re-install I have one item that is not compatible and it is 'ATI Catalysr Control Center'.
So my question is can I still install windows 8?

Thanks in advance:think:

The reason it says the Catalyst is not compatible is because the version you have is written for your Operating System, once you upgrade to Windows 8, you can just redownload the new Catalyst Control Center, the site will give you the one designed for Windows 8.

The download is only good for one computer, the second one won't activate, but you can put it on a disk or 3GB or larger Flash Drive.
