I just switched to a Dell. (refurb)....Then I wrote over the Vista
install with an ebay Windows 7 64bit.
Everything works....office, rig control, weather station, logging,
digital voice, psk, WSJT, in fact, I have not come across anything that
doesn't work.....yet!!!
I'd stay far away from Windows 8....In fact, my mother-in-law wants a
new 'puter for XMAS. We're having a bit of a tough time finding new
desktops with 7 on them. Stores are all selling 8....But you can go
online and find them...new, with 7. That's the ticket!!!

If you get Windows 7 32 bit instead of Windows 7 64 bit, you should

I have been researching the replacement of the three XP machines here in
the shack
and the results have been discouraging. None of my programs: word
processing,
spreadsheet, logging, rig interface, and scanner programming is
compatible with
WIN-7 let alone WIN-8.1.
In addition, my interfaces for the printer(s) [non-serial, but parallel]
aren't USB compatible either! I currently have five serial interfaces,
but my two USB ports have yet to operate with serial adapters. I believe
this is because my USB ports are USB-1 type (just plain old)
Obviously, I do not have an unlimited budget to replace three computers,
two
printers, all the software and still be unable to interface with my
rigs.
I've got a JRC JST-145 (interfaced with LOGic) and an ICOM IC-756
pro-II.
Any helpful suggestions welcome.
