hi,
I want to put together a low end system with Phenom x4 965 to migrate my files from my mac mini... (weird... I know...) but I am thinking about setup raid with 2+ duplicated hard drives...
Is windows 8 necessary just to keep my files safe, using for internet, emails, ms office? I have a windows xp desktop with retailed license that I am planning to decomission after 10+ years, so I should have my windows xp license to use? But I am concerned about security in the near future.
Because now windows 8 is like $119, however it is almost the price of my CPU + mainboard combined.... that is the whole computer... I have to use my MS Office license so putting xp first then windows 8 in the future doesn't seeem logical....
