[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 1102369, member: 176362"] [B]Info[/B] My daily workhorse - has been upgraded with assorted bits n pieces over time. This has had win7 on it since I first built it a couple of years back [B]Computer specs[/B] No brand desktop built up from a selection of mainly second hand bits a couple of years ago 16GB ram 128GB ssd & 250GB ssd Intel i3 processor on a Asus P8H61-I LX mobo [B]Total cost[/B] Unknown - its been added to more or less constantly since I built it! The biggest expense was the 2x8GB ram. The mobo is a second hand Asus picked up for pennies a few years ago. [B]Verdict[/B] I wasnt expecting any problems from this one and of course it all went fairly smoothly. This computer is well within the minimum specs for win10. I need to see if I can get drivers for some of the older peripherals - the usb camera & serial card arent being recognised atm. And now I need to spend a couple of weeks tweaking & reinstalling all those little customisations every computer gets when its been used for a while..... [/QUOTE]
