Just to clarify things, below is the spec of my current PC built by PC Specialists back in 2013. The only problems I've had with it are when I first got it & hadn't realised I had to connect an aerial that I missed inside the box it came in & the watch battery failed after 2 years. I've been using MS Professional since my XP days back in 2007. At the time I chose it because it could handle more RAM than the home editions. Not sure if that applies now, but I don't just use my PC for editing. For the additional £20 PCS charge for the upgrade from home to Professional I don't see the point in changing.
Since my original post on this I've been looking at an all in one from PCS, but the best they can offer in a panel is one with an 8Ms response time as against the Benq stand alone I've semi chosen of 1Ms.
