| 1264578 | 2012-03-13 21:00:00 | Your idea seems reasonable to me. FYI, I am running the developer release on a P4 2.4GHz with 2GB RAM and it seems to run fine so your PC should cope. You can always find out for free with the current release, anyway. Personally, I would try to migrate as quickly as possible as messing with two OS is a bit of a pain. You might find some problems with old progs and old hardware (dvrs aval?), though. Easy enough to check this first. I am about to install the consumer release on the old machine but may be tempted to put it on my main machine after that. |

| 1264579 | 2012-03-13 21:09:00 | Thanks for the replies guys. I will wait for a time after the release of the finished W8, see if anyone has problems, read a few reviews, then buy a suitable version if all is OK. Pretty sure I will go dual boot, as I have a lot of stuff I don't want to lose, and will need to migrate across, or re-download. Thanks again. |
