Review by Stephanie Sullivan

I have a number of clients who have XP running on computers that will support windows 7 64bit. With no real in-place upgrade from Windows XP doing an OEM install makes good economical sense.

Why Windows 7 and not Windows 8? My client base falls into 2 groups. The differentiator is whether they have a touch screen and if they do Windows 8 is OK but with a learning curve. So many clients are opting to go with Windows 7 instead of 8.

The main thing we check on the system to be upgraded is how much memory the system can support. We upgrade the system to at least 4GB and preferably 8GB.

An excellent desktop operating systems giving new life to existing systems and helping my client’s cost management is worth 5 stars to me.
