I'm getting a Dell

[TapperMike]

After reading about MS discontinuing updated for 98/vista and constant reminders from many software programs (including chrome) about their subsequent discontinuation of support for Vista,  I've decided it's time for a new computer.

 

I've had this vista computer since 2007, I can't get the free upgrade to win10 so I'd have to purchase it separately.  Looking at my dated specs I decided it was time.  I found a refurb\upgrade on ebay that is still under warranty and fully supported by Dell.

The specs are.

OS - Windows 10 Pro

Harddrive - 2 terabyte @7200 rpm

Additional 256gig SSD 

Ram: 16 Gigs

Processor: i7-4790k

 

 

I checked out a lot of reviews for the product as it's a refurb and a year old.  The only caveat gamers have is that the power supply is underpowered as is the video card.  If you want to replace the video card you also have to replace the power supply.  Don't really care, not a gamer.  Care more about the sound processing power and... security.

 

The pro version of windows 10 has added features for greater control over things like ...scheduling updates. It's also (believe it or not) less intrusive and doesn't use your computer like a torrent.
