    Which version of the BIOS is it running and what is the Service Tag on it?

    Bios rev A13

    Service tag DL8034J

    I think it should be fine for win 7 or 8.

    I have always used windows xp and this has always suited me and my needs. Now I read with discomfort that XP will be ending security updates in April, meaning if I and others remain with XP we are open to security threats etc.....

    Any ideas or points here from anyone?

    Some interesting/useful tips here.
