    Unless your laptop has a touch screen then I would suggest to change this option:
    1 x Operating System ( Windows 8 + Office 2010 Trial [Free 60-Day !!!] - 64-bit )
    to: Windows 7
    EQ2 runs fine on Windows 8. However many options in 8 have been changed that just make 8 harder to use than 7. Example: when you want to shut down the computer 7 would have you click the start menu and choose shut down. Can't do that in 8, you gotta find your way to settings, then choose power, then choose to shut down.
