I know what you just thought: No problem I?ll just wander off to the next PC shop and buy a cheap PC, and be done, or if you more technically inclined, you can even build your new system.

And that spells problems! Neither ACID nor XIPPR installs on a UEFI bios?ed system and even the ?compatibility mode of many bioses? will give you more than its share of headaches.
