That would be a nice replacement based on what you’ve said so far. It kind of depends on whether or not you would make changes in what you store if you were to get a much larger drive. Users who go for 1Tb drives store a lot of video files for example. Or maybe they want to partition a 1 Tb into separate drives for different purposes.
I think you just want to make this as painless as possible. Since you already are comfortable with Win 7 and the drive is larger than what you have now, it would be a good upgrade for you. It is the way I would go. If you went with the Win 8.1 system, you would have a significant learning curve to climb, plus you would be buying a larger drive than you really need. None of that is really bad, but you just have to be prepared to make adjustments with that choice.
I have the little Toshiba transformer which is an 8 and frankly not impressed. Took off a lot of the aps.
I think you do understand what I want. I only watch videos with my TV and I never watch anything twice so storing vid does not make sense to me. I understand that I can even move the files from one to another computer with some sort of application that is already on the system. How cool is that?
Whichever way you go, best of luck to you!
