Were do you get the OS already installed on the drive. I have a Asus 550 with a 500 G and win 8.1. Looking to up grade to win 10 YES i have the GEO FORCE graphic card. Will I loose the use of the GEO FORCE. card. It has a i7 chip. And 6 g of line one cache would like to take to like 16 G… I would like to use the solid state hard drive. I understand it weathers bounces. Small slams and bangs better than the disc type. But I may not beable to afford this high a upgrade. Recommendations chrisdeiotte7@gmail.com
