I installed Windows 10 on it. I've found it to be pretty good in PC mode for what it is. I got it running Skyrim the other day just fine.

I mostly use it for the Atari games or web browsing or watching youtube or whatever. I'm really having fun with it.

The Atari VCS is a very capable PC booting WIndows running Steam and playing GTA V at a middle video settings. Just make sure you install your OS on a reasonably fast USB connected drive. Congrats, I love this thing and hope you do to.
