Hey there, Thanks for piping in. You answered a question I had about when I insert the Win CD and Win 8 disk. Still out and about, so I might not be able to catch you on Zello until tomorrow. Thanks again. Oh yeah, I know I will need to give up a little bit of my precious disk space, but I think I will need all of the RAM and processor speed. That's why I decided to take this route for now.
