Dual Booting

11 posts in this topic

Hey all, I'm trying to decide whether or not I should dual boot the scraptop with win 8, I already have win 7 installed, will it be too much trouble? Powershell stuff :/


Machine specs:

 

AMD E-300 APU (AMD 6870 graphics)

6GB RAM

320GB HDD (140GB free)

 

Any opinions and thoughts are appreciated.

 

Love you all.

 

UPDATE:

 

I am now running win8.1 solo boot on the scraptop now, all concerns are now gone. Thankyou people that posted.

Tiddy-bits:

Why not run a virtual machine?

 

True. Easier to set up, but a trade off of efficiency since you're simulating the whole "computer", OS included.

I already have a virtual machine running on it using win 7, and it's already breaking the scraptop's balls.

Cool. I hate to be a Microsoft shill (they're corrupting me =O ) but other than UI changes, Win 8/8.1 are really just a better Windows 7.

Still running win7 on my desktop, but I'll be making it win10 very soon. A friend of mine is in the beta and has given me a copy and key to use :D

There is no beta? There's a technical preview anyone can download and install.

I didn't mean the tech demo
