Windows 8.1
Will it handle good on this PC ?
-CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5000+ 2.59GHz
-RAM: 1GB DDR2
-MB: ECS GeForce 7050M-M
-GPU: GeForce GT9400
-250GB HDD
And i should go with 32bit version right?-I will use just for ethernet,YouTube,Storage pictures,videos ...A
And what version of windowos 8.1 should i go with ?-Core,Pro,Enterprise???

 
Solution
A
It will run, probably, but with 1GB of RAM - it will struggle. Finding Windows 8 drivers could be problematic, try Windows 7 drivers if available.

About which version - the one you bought. Go with 32-bit for sure.

It may or may not need drivers. You may find that there are suitable drivers already in the OS, but there may be updated drivers for things like the video card, sound, network that you will probably need to get in order for these things to work properly.
