Original Request--Problem Description:
I am considering a purchase of this system (link below) and would like to be sure Autocad Civil3D
2014 will perform or even install on it. Graphics are an Integrated system. (If not, is it possible to install Civil3D on any AIO PC? Recommendation?)
Thank you for your input and consideration.

Win 8 is a bit of a toss-up, I wouldn't recommend Win 8.1. Win 7 is still the preferred choice.
8 GB RAM is OK for learning ie. small "play" projects but 16GB would be preferable for any real world work.
You will need a dedicated video card.
Should work fine we are pretty much running the same machines just not in AIO format.
We are running Win8.1 without any problems. Most of the guys complained a few days until they figured out to set it up, After about a week I asked them if they want to go back to Win7 all refused.
I could explain why Win 8 is not a problem for production work but that would probably start a war. I will say we don't use Metro Apps at all.

i also have windows 8 no issues with 2014 products yet i have not upgraded to Windows 8.1 no reason to yet
i installed classic shell which can hide the start screen and the charms bar
back to your question would an AIO run civil 3d probably but you would be having performance issues since your using an integrated graphics card
