I bought an E-machine EL1358G-51W (the slim tower) from Walmart, and while it is a good computer, I find that I can't play certain games like WoW unless I have all graphics turned to their absolute lowest setting. I can't figure out how to upgrade the video card in this computer.
I have another computer - a Dell - that recently experienced hard drive failure, and it has no hard drive currently in it. It has a much better video card in it, so I was going to pull my hard drive out of the E-machine and put it into the Dell.
However, I ran into an issue because my E-machine has the Windows 7 operating system, but the Dell had Windows XP. I suppose I was caught off guard that this would matter since the Dell has no hard drive in it, but apparently there is some sort of XP memory still in the Dell that prevents Windows 7 from booting on it.
Is there any way to configure the Dell to remove the XP requirements so that it will boot off the Windows 7 hard drive?
Thanks
