All 3 computers in my house are from 2002-2006. All 3 computers in my house are working fine. All 3 computers in my house run Windows XP. All 3 computers in my house will not be able to run Windows 8.1. I have no money for a new computer at this time. In the words of Billy Corgan, what's a boy supposed to dooo? |

Why do you need Windows 8.1? Side note - what brand of computers are you working with? Impressive that all 3 are 10ish years old and still working well. |

Dude I got a Dell! But also I'm very neurotic with what I do with my computers (I have very few programs installed; mostly all of them are used for work). |

I'm pretty good with computers, and the one I use now I built myself (not as hard as it sounds). But i'm not sure how your question needs a computer-savvy answer. Gotta make dat $$$. You could consider a Chromebook perhaps, but that is very dependent on your internet access. Those are pretty good and seem to run around $300? What makes you tihnk you need 8.1? |

I would personally love to continue using XP on all three computers; my worry is of this supposed "zero day" threat coming as I still regularly use the internet on all 3 (with an abundance of Adblock, Noscript, etc). |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-day_attack Some websites have mentioned it once XP loses support, as thats the best time to release a virus. |
