Ram PC Systems has the answer, we sell New Windows XP Computers. Their legacy hardware or software isn’t supported in newer Operating Systems and getting a supported version is either cost prohibitive or is impossible because the company that made it is no longer in business. We hear this from customers all the time. The device works like new, we haven’t had any problems out of it over the 10+ years that we’ve had it why replace it? This PC doesn’t have to be on the internet, so security updates aren’t that big of a deal. The other device, not so easy, we can get a new model for 1,450, that’s enough to make us rethink the Windows 10 upgrade. One of the devices isn’t really a problem we can get a newer model from the manufacturer that works in Windows 10 for $75, cheap price for an upgrade.

After much research and calling these device’s manufacturers, which were luckily still in business, we discovered that there was no way to get these devices working in Windows 10, or for that matter Windows 7 or Windows 8. So we put in the new SSD, added the RAM, installed the OS and everything was good, that is until we started installing a couple of devices that we use that PC with.

We have even put Windows 10 on a couple of workstations and it’s been well liked by those using it a worthy successor to Windows 7 and far superior to Windows 8 in our opinion. We’d moved all our other office PCs from XP to Windows 7 over the past several years, this was the only one left. After all Windows XP is no longer supported by Microsoft, there’s no new security updates, so why not. We decided to install an SSD, add more memory and put Windows 10 on that PC. We heard the hard drive start clicking so we knew it was time to put in a new drive.

It’s hardware had been upgraded piece by piece over the years but we’d kept XP on it. We upgraded one of our oldest systems, which was still running Windows XP Pro, to Windows 10 last week.
