But what of Windows 8.1 ? This is a terrible operating system for
many reasons, one of the least significant being that there are many
USB 3 drives that would work with Sandy Bridge era laptops but that
won't work with 8.1 - - a problem that has been documented for over a
year without a solution.
However, I am testing a laptop with 3200x1600 resolution, and there
really is no choice but the installed Win 8.1, until something
superior comes along, as it must.
What is the preferred solution for 8.1 ? VirtualBox and XP ?
