    Thanks. There's a 3d scene (in Povray ) I've been testing new desktops /laptops with for a long time . Since 2002 I think. Tried yesterday , it rendered in two mins. This system is fast ! I remember that scene taking 20 mins to render 20 years ago.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Should I buy windows or transfer it from another computer?

    Got it ,that makes sense. I knew this as in the past to buy a Windows OEM disc for £50-70 less than RRP ( if memory serves ), you had to buy hardware with it . But seeing many motherboards over £300, I thought could this include an oem version of Windows ? Thanks for the reply 👍
