    Oh like a Windows USB?

    I have Windows 7 Ultimate on a USB, from when I installed it on my main PC.
    Oooookay. A signature you say? :think:............

    What about the other spec I listed?

    Someone is selling it to me for £65.

    Dell OptiPlex dual core 3.0/2.99MHz
    1GB RAM
    150GB Hard Drive
    Acer 24inch flat screen monitor
    wireless keyboard and mouse
    Windows 8.1

    No such thing as a 150GB HDD. Who is selling it to you for £65?

    The Optiplex sounds like old news. Does it come with the Product Key for Windows 8? If so, that and the screen may be worth £65. The Optiplex is worth perhaps £20.

    I used the product key for the PC.

    Wouldn't the product key for the RM be in the Computer or something?

    Maybe it was a typo for what should have been 160GB?! :think:

    I'm not sure about the product key. So that PC wouldn't be very customisable either?

    It should be on a sticker although a machine of that vintage could be Vista rather than 7.

    Almost certainly a hooky install. I can take a look at what can be done. Will send a PM.
