REPAIRS & MODIFICATIONS
- Attempted installation of Windows 10 but reverted to Windows 7 due to an incompatibility with the touch screen driver (intermittent blue screen crashes during startup).
CONCLUSION
This all-in-one desktop was given to me by a customer when they upgraded to a new Windows 10 system. It's about 10 years old but is still more than adequate for most general purpose uses. It could be upgraded to Windows 10 with loss of some of the touchscreen functionality when support for Windows 7 finishes in 2020.
