I'm thinking about building a new computer, but have been wondering about the OS. I'm using XP x64 now and was thinking it might be better (financially) to skip win7 and go right to win8. I haven't built a computer for a few years, but it appears to be less difficult no and more choices.
Is it feasible to install my current XP boot drive in a new mb/cpu? I have a decent graphics board and power supply and would like to retain my software configuration until I have to upgrade the OS, which seems inevitable, but I have to "pinch pennies."
