Seems easy enough to do: http://m.cnet.com/news/how-to-dual-boot-windows-7-with-windows-8/57511894?ds=1

My mam is getting it for €20 so no harm in trying it out for that price.

Make sure its the Full edition and not the upgrade edition

Afaik the upgrade will not allow a custom install on its own partition.

Also depending on immovable files you may not be able to shrink the partition down even if you have enough space.

In that case you will need to use a third party tool like Easus to split the HDD up

Make sure you have at least 20 GB free to install 8 on

Best of luck and any probs give me a shout

First week in the new job and I've a few folk bringing in NES carts, 2600 consoles and about 50 c64 tapes and dropping them on my desk for free.
And i get paid as well for this :eek:

Anything fancy? I'd say it's only a matter of time before you get Vampire's Kiss CIB.

Nothing that great game wise, just the usual selection of the top selling PAL games around that time. Got a Vader 2600 in box that needs a little bit of a clean and maybe some internal repairs (not tested it yet and she didn't have a psu). The c64 games I already have every one of them but at least I have more copies of them now

I just have people dropping troubles on my desk!

Note to self, find out where Steve got his desk and get a purchase order for one.....

Well, I also get troubles dropped on my desk but at least the freebies make it a little easier to take.

I don't even have a desk

So it seems the game design course I'm in is focusing on casual games and we'll only be making casual games. Any chance I can pass off my idea of a game about a katana wielding japanese schoolgirl tear arsing around using the power of ultra violence to destroy organised religion could pass as a casual game?

You might get away with it if you suffix every second line with '......and micro-transactions'.

Casual can mean a lot of things. Call of duty is casual. So are a lot of arcade games. Just phrase your words correctly to get the project you want.

There's sure some tough competiion on the blackboard at the Science Gallery:

I'm gonna go to GameStop today and ask if they should get Under Defeat HD. Don't feel like ordering online with a jacked up postage cost from Amazon.
