I was thinking it was about time for me to get a new PC, well actually i want to build my own, but this question is not about that. I want to give this computer to my mother, doesnt know much about them and i was thinking that i could get a touchscreen monitor and upgrade to windows 8.1 to make things easier for her. My specs arent super fancy, i have 6Gbs of ram, Hd radeon 7750 Graphics, and a quad core processor @3.1 from AMD. Would you say it would be a good idea, she would only be using this computer for Facebook/youtube and maybe some little games from the windows store for the grandchildren.
Could i upgrade to win 8.1?

I'd say it should run windows 8.1 just fine. What is it running now?
