I recently inherited this machine and have no idea what to do with it. It will boot up after about 7 or 8 attempts. Then it seems to run just fine. It is running os8? Im not sure how to check what version exactly or any of the specs on it. I have so many questions I want to ask but I will try to keep them down to a minimum. First can this machine be crashed to like a factory state, and if so how. Second can I upgrade, should I upgrade? My plans for this computer is to give it my 11 year old son and use it for teaching myself and my kids some computer system variety.
