What are some differences between a Windows and an Apple desktop?
There are numerous differences between Windows and Apple desktops. However, with the advent of Windows 8 the differences between it, and Windows 7 are almost as much as with Apple. The key is that Apple has no start button and uses a dock that can be positioned along the bottom or sides of the screen. Apple's desktop is also more active being able to actually store files rather than mostly shortcuts to files located elsewhere. The difference is subtle, but important.

How many hard drive can go in a desktop?
The number of hard drives that can go in a desktop is more limited by the space you have within your computer's case and the number of ports on your motherboard rather than operating system limitations. I have heard that you can have up to 24 drives in Windows including internal and external drives. Right now, I have 5 drives attached to my desktop. To determine how many drives you can have in your desktop you should count up the number of SATA or IDE ports on your motherboard and count up the spaces in your computer case. Also, consider using external hard drives to increase your storage capacity.
