You could upgrade it, but Jo would have to help with that.

Win7 upgrade is about 80-100 dollars. You might need more RAM to run it too.

This desktop of mine is running Windows XP with 1 Gig of RAM and that is not enough these days. Thinking about more in fact!

Hi Mrs. D.

Got this link .....and if you think I understood most of it , FORGET IT!! lol
