Thanks Steffen, I think If I buy another computer it will be for in the house to process my images.

I'll probably leave the PC laptop out in the observatory to run the gear out there. That should avoid any nasty hardware/software/firmware incompatibility issues.

I'm just testing the water to see if I should buy a faster and more powerful desktop PC, or perhaps go to Mac, as I have heard they are much better for image/graphics-type work.
