When I install Windows 8?
Hello
I have this HP desktop computer old it is on Windows Vita with 2 GB of RAM and 1.8 Ghz, think to do like a decent gaming computer but don't know where to start from?
I am wanting to install Windows 8, but still am not 100% satisfied, if am able to buy the disc and install it, would be fairly simple. I'm ready to buy a new Intel 3 GHz, I found a pretty cheap but am not guaranteed if there is a specific model I should look for or none of Intel processors would work on my HP? Is the same thing for RAM? Can I disassemble my PC and add it in? Is there a specific module?
Thanks in advance!
Unfortunately, this PC probably will not work to be a gaming PC. It will be difficult to find the right processor. Ensure that the processor will fit the socket, etc.. You will probably need to buy a new motherboard.
Also, the processor is not the only component that affects the performance of the games. Gaming PC tend to have dedicated GPU for the games. You can give it a try, but it is extremely difficult. You should also make sure you will have enough power to supply the components.
As for Windows, Yes, you will be able to buy the Windows 8.1 on a DVD plug a PC, format the HD and install.
See you soon
