Operating systems

Another important choice when choosing your PC. Windows XP and Vista has now been discontinued so it only leaves one choice, Windows 7.

Typically our users choose the home versions of the desired operating system, simply because it includes everything they need.

If your PC comes with an operating system or you choose one then it comes pre installed by one of our engineers. We dont stop there, all the windows updates are installed, drivers are updated and our engineers tweak a few settings so you get the best out of your machine. You operating system disk and licence key is then supplied with your PC.

All versions of operating systems are OEM unless otherwise stated.

We appreciate you may wish to install your own operating system, so rather than forcing you to have an operating system from us none of our machines come with an operating system as standard which saves you money and gives you the choice as whether you want a preinstalled operating system or not.

Just incase you were wondering to choose a 32 bit or 64 bit operating system then take a look at this. The main advantage of a 64 bit Operating system is that it can address over 4GB of RAM. 32 bit operating systems can not.
