Wonder if Win-10 would work on a MK1 or a MK2 ?

I would think it would, may be a little heavy for a 1.06 dual core and may have to turn off some of the bells and whistles. Main thing to do a search on would be the chipset/video to see how comparable that is.

With 4GB max RAM, open more than two programs and it'd be as slow as a drunk one-legged dog.

Blaaahahaha, Agreed..


NO!

Well that's about all I have 19 wise. I hate windopes, but the wife still uses it. She liked the Dell I did for my son for collage, so trying to set her up with something decent. I have a couple of Dell XT's but they are too flimsy and work best with the pen over finger touch. Love the way the 19's I have work on Linux and was hoping.... Ah well such is life.

Ok here we go. Bump it. I'm gonna try 10 on a mk 1 and 8.1 as well. Touch before the digitizer machine I have. HOWEVER I'm going the long way. XP or 7 fully functional for the unit first. THEN start the "upgrade" process. All fully functional and activated. At least that's the plan.

good plan

The worse thing that can come of it is a waste of time. Al-tho being a learning experience is rarely a waste of time. Damn I sound like my Gran-Pa. LOL. That's cool.

Took a W7 pro 64 bit install, bumped it to 8.1 pro. So far not bad at all. Have to recalibrate the touch. Seems about 1/2 inch off from actual. This is on my CF-19fhgaxam if I remember this is a MK2 . Wireless is fully functional and it was seeking blutooth, which I canceled, so will recheck that later. Not too bad so far. After I play with this incarnation I'll go on to 10. Oh and it's only 3gb ram. Wanted to go with 32 bit but this is what I grabed off the shelf, disk wise. (got quite a collection of OS's" . Oh and yea just got the install activated too so it is a valid install. This now makes 3 windopes accounts crap. Pix to come later.

If you decide to keep 8 on there and want a windows 7 style desktop just install "classic Shell" take the tiles away too.
