[Help] Struggles with HP Desktop, looking at possible install to Acer e5-771 series

[andsoitgoes]

Hi everyone

Sorry to be such a pest, I read through the laptop guide and saw a post about a similar model that was positive, but because it's not the same I'm a bit anxious.

To confirm here are some of the hardware specs:

Processor & Chipset
Processor Manufacturer Intel
Processor Type Core i5
Processor Generation 4th Gen
Processor Model i5-4210U
Processor Speed 1.70 GHz
Cache 3 MB
64-bit Processing Yes

Memory
Standard Memory 8 GB
Maximum Memory 16 GB
Memory Technology DDR3L SDRAM
Number of Total Memory Slots 2
Memory Card Reader Yes
Memory Card Supported SD

Network & Communication
Wireless LAN Yes
Wireless LAN Manufacturer Atheros
Wireless LAN Model WB335
Wireless LAN Standard IEEE 802.11b/g/n
Ethernet Technology Gigabit Ethernet
Bluetooth

If this doesn't work, it'll require me to do more work on my desktop, including buying a new video card, as apparently the Radeon HD 6670 is a tough nut to crack and I'm already beyond the pale with my skills on this.

Thanks much in advance!
