Need Advice On Replacing Desktop Computer

Eff win 8.1

That is all.

Oh, the horror! My parents bought a touch screen laptop (they are 75+ years old) with Windows 8.1. OMG, they couldn't print for days. I spent hours at their house Tuesday night getting their printers hooked up. Finally I gave up. Next week I'm taking my Windows 7 / 64 bit disc and I'm rolling them back.

Be prepared another exercise in frustration. 8.1 doesn't like to be "down graded". Hard format, re-initialize the drive, then install clean.


What I dislike the most about 8.1 is that it doesn't operate well as a tablet OS 'or' as a mouse operated OS. They have the same "_ box X" setup that older versions have (tiny) plus all the over head of previous versions.

The whole thing just strikes me as a poorly thought out idea.
 
Being that I am a repair tech for Lenovo I'm bias to say a Lenovo ThinkCentre will do the trick for your business since they are created specifically for businesses Independent and Commercial. If you have a budget in mind I would be more than happy to fill you in on specs and series from the ThinkCentre line-up. ( I bought my girlfriends parents a ThinkCentre back in Dec. for their Family Business that would have cost $1100 but I got it brand new for $275) Needless to say, they were extremely happy!
