Default Re: Buying a comp without an operating system?

[ QUOTE ]
hi there

i have my eye on a new comp from ebay, however, it does not come with an OS, i have also seen windows xp on ebay for a decent price and ill probably get it from there.

However, i am not the most computer minded person and am a bit nervous as to whether or not it will be difficult or complicated to install the OS.

Could someone reassure me that its easy or explain what i have to do please.

Cheers

p.s. is their anything else that i need to install apart from the OS.

Put the cd in when you switch the pc on, then follow the onscreen instruction, make sure you have the serial number when it asks you. Assuming its a run of the mill pc it should detect all your components. Otherwise you may need some drivers for any bits that are not included in the original cd. The manufacturers website should let you download these. But it is relatively simple
