so you didn't like it? Do you run windows xp now?
I liked Windows 8 on all my devices - Samsung BUILD tablet, HP Laptop and DELL PC
For the DELL 4600 PC, I dual booted XP and Windows 8
To do do you have to create a free partition on your HDD (say 60Gb)
Then restart XP and boot the Windows 8 DVD
Choose the free partition and Windows 8 installs...
But be warned, if you are running older hardware make sure you use a SSD in place of a HDD otherwise the HDD becomes bottleneck!
