Hi,
I have an older Win XP. With April 2014 abt. a year away, am debating whether to upgrade to Win 7 or buy a new P.C. (and new P.C.s only come w/ Windows 8, as I understand, unless you build your own & I am not advanced enough to do that).
I am confident I have the ability to upgrade my XP (it passed the upgrade test). Understand I'd need a Windows 7 CD and a means of storing current computer info on an external drive. Have checked the top 2 makers and see I'll be spending approx. $80 to $90ish for a 1 Terabyte external hard drive.
I use my computer for the usual email / Internet browsing stuff, and also for photo work and sound recording.
Anything else I should know or consider when choosing my options? Also, best sources you'd recommend to obtain a Win 7 installation CD??
Thanks in advance.
P.S. I also have a Dell Dimension 2400, Service Pack 3, maxed, w/ puny hard drive. Anything I can do with it after April 2014?? Funny answers will be accepted.
