New here... and not fluent in a lot of this stuff. This may be impossible but is there any free way to get from Windows XP to Windows 8.1? My old Dell Dimension 2400, though a tough and reliable computer lo these many years is beginning to suffer from electronic Alzheimers. I got 13 bad drivers, my USB's don't work and my disc drive only opens with a paperclip. Is there any freeware that will fix that stuff?
Thanks |

depending on what it's hardware spec's are, you may be better off in going straight to win-10.
otherwise: try running under a Linux Host, like this: http://www.robolinux.org/pc-compatible/ |

Welcome to the forum

If you had Windows 7 or 8 already on your PC, Windows 10 would have been a free upgrade for you for the first year, as announced by Microsoft. But as you are still on XP, you have to buy Windows 10. How do you know you have 13 bad drivers? How did you arrive at this conclusion? Did you use any software to determine that? Which software? Quote:
What other issues are you facing with your computer? How old is it? If there are loads of problems, probably it would be a good idea to get it formatted, and reinstall Windows again.
