Wondows OS Recommendations and usage question
This is my first post.
I am reviewing specifications for my first PC build to replace my 2002 Dell tower!
Yes pretty old but still going.
I am hung on the OS though. I have read thru many threads and have a good understanding of the differences of Full, OEM, Upgrade.
It is my thought that I will purchase an OEM version of Win 7 Pro as I intend to build and use this PC for many years. So I won't need the transportability of the full version. Thoughts on this will be appreciated.
However I do want to be able to run XP also perhaps in Virtual XP Mode or even perhaps as a 2nd bootable OS. Just not sure which would be the easiest way to do this. I have a program that I use that will not work past XP, nor will it be upgraded to do so as I am informed. So I either use in XP or select a new software product to do the same thing. I would rather keep the old program and the database that is with it and so not start over with a new program.
Any opinions or thoughts or recommendations
