I really need a new OS for my old PC, do I need any upgrades though to get my HP to Windows 8.1? it was made for Windows XP. I don't mind which I get but I want to move on from Windows XP. I've already upgraded the ram to 2GBs (2x1GB)

Are you positive it will work? I thought it might not work because of graphics or something around that area? which edition should I go for if I do get windows 7?

Wrong! I'm using a Dell Inspiron 1525 which has only 2GB ram (2x1GB) and it works perfectly smooth on Windows 8 even though it was made for Windows Vista; it works even better on Windows 8 then it ever did on Windows Vista.
 


I didn't say it wouldn't work. Windows 8 uses less ram than window vista and 7. I just stating when you are running multiple programs, your 2GB is the limiting factor. my statement still stand: 4Gb minimum would be better. 8GB would be perfect.
