Choose an operating system suitable for a new PC for grandma.
Hi, I’m setting up a new PC for your grandma and have everything ready. I’ll shop during Black Friday and hope Windows is under $100 or it will run OS X instead. Here’s what I have:
- CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core ($226.71)
- Motherboard: Biostar B85MG Micro ATX LGA1150 ($66.98)
- RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 ($55.23)
- Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM ($57.71)
- Case: Fractal Design Core 1100 MicroATX Mini Tower ($37.99)
- Power Supply: Antec Basiq 350W ATX ($37.86)
- Optical Drive: LG GH24NSC0 DVD/CD Writer ($17.94)
Total comes to $500.42, which is just under your $600 budget. Prices include shipping and taxes, and discounts apply when available. I’m aiming for Windows under $100 so it stays within your plan. If you can get a Mac OS X version, that would be great too. Thanks for all the support!
I'll retrieve the OXS version for you. It's a more user-friendly OS with a simpler interface.
Sure, I'll make sure to clarify that if any adjustments affect the payment. Would you like me to confirm the details?
A system can prevent running an operating system by disabling it through configuration, settings, or hardware restrictions.

I think the main problems with OS X compatibility come from drivers. I’d look into Tonymacx86 for more information on hackintoshops and hardware compatibility.
