    Upgrading from XP

    can anyone help me out on which OS would be ideal? am i able to have an .ISO mounted to a virtual drive & install either Win7 or Win8 from there? or what is the best way to go about it?
    many thanks!

      download a copy of win 8.1 and install it....however, make sure that ur pc supports the min requirements for the OS.

                  It depends of amount of available RAM. "Old" computers with less than 1,5 G RAM will too slow with new OSes.
                  Also if you have more than 4 G RAM (include video memory), you'll need to install 64 bit OS
