Solve : Windows 7 or Windows 10? Do you like 10 or you wish to return to say 7?? |

Answer» Greetings! I ended up running Never 10 to all my Windows 7 systems. Wow. Thank you for the quick Reply. I like windows 7 a LOT more. However whats pushing me to 10 is ONLY and ONLY the DirectX12. Granted my MSI R6870 isnt what it used to be but in 10 i got a max of 80FPS in GTA V which to me on an old card is impressive. Averaged around 50-60FPS min was i want to say 40. That reason and the fact that since i do some tech work having 10 would be good. But I HATE The constant updates the control over you all the other BS> I got in the Windows 10 Insider program long before the official launch, and installed it on an oldish Dell Core 2 Duo laptop (2GB RAM 8 GB HD), that had XP. It was my only (free) chance at a modern Windows install on that machine. Everything worked fine straight away and it seemed noticeably more snappy. I have been letting the builds update ever since and I am very happy with it. About 1 year ago I bought a new desktop PC: Spec as bought: Gigabyte GA-H81M-DS2V motherboard Intel i7 4790 cpu 16 GB RAM (2 x Crucial CT102464BA160B.C16) 1 TB WD Blue WD10EZEX-00BN5A0 HDD Windows 8.1 Pro downgraded to Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) Added by me: 120 MB Samsung Evo 840 SSD Upgrade after 2 months to Windows 10 Professional 64 bit I was already well used to Windows 7 having used it for 5 years in another PC. I found Windows 10 a great improvement and continue to do so. I would never go back. I agree with ST. I have two new systems that came with 10 and two others I upgraded from 7 to 10 (all pro version). When all is said and done it's just an OS, but I'm very pleased with it and have never even thought about reverting.

I gave him my honest opinion, which is that, like you say, it's just Windows. You get a task bar at the bottom of the screen with a start button on the left end and a clock on the right, and you just run the programs you want. (in his case, mostly Firefox and MS Office 2007).Yes, other than look and feel (which when all is said and done can pretty much be reconfigured to the user's taste) I never understood all of the discussions that surround which version of Windows to use.I am old enough to remember the angst and terror some people seemed to have at the introductions of Windows 95, 98, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10. In each case people said the old one (yes, even Windows 3.11 for Workgroups) was better and they'd never learn how to use the new one. I suspect some said the same for each one. Incidentally I saw a funny cartoon in a magazine the other day. It SHOWED a bunch of Luddites in the 19th century smashing the new fangled machines that were putting artisans out of work, and another man addressing them saying "My steam powered machine smasher can do the work of ten men!" Maybe my performance issue with Windows 10 is because of my hardware combination not tapping into DirectX 12. The article below suggests that DirectX 12 will theoretically be so much more than 11 and I am running on DirectX 10 for gaming. So maybe Windows 10 with DirectX 10 is not so great, but Windows 7 is perfect with DirectX 10, or it comes down to nVidia's driver for Windows 7 and my video card is better than the driver they made available for Windows 10 with my nvidia GTX 260 video card. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2900814/tested-directx-12s-potential-performance-leap-is-insane.htmlI have machines running Win 7, Win 8.1 and Win 10. I have no compulsion to change the OS on any of them. Like SalmonTrout, I've been in the Insider's Program for Win 10 since it's inception so have been using Win 10 for nearly 2 years. I have one machine running the very latest build which is one of the last before the upcoming Anniversary Update which is scheduled to be released on Aug 2nd. As much as I like Win 10, I don't feel compelled to upgrade all of my machines to it since, after all, it's just an OS.I have it in a dual-boot setup with 7... Seems i still use 7 more often though...My assistant is a triple boot Windows XP Windows 7 and Windows 10. There is one specific program that I like very much and it only works on Windows 10 or on my Android tablet. There's no way to make it work on Windows 7. Doing a triple boot installation brings its own problems. It's much more difficult to do maintenance on a computer with 3 operating systems.Like Salmon I've been fiddling with Win10 on some of my systems since some of the earlier Insider builds. I put the "Fast" insider build on my old desktop and the standard RTM on my "budget" build system. A few weeks ago I upgraded the laptop (Thinkpad T550) which I tend to use as a work machine, and it's been fine and the only issue was I had to repair Visual Studio 2015. I think the advantages of Windows 10 are overstated, particularly given the regressions in some of the basic functionality (eg. VPN network connection), but it's not unilaterally worse by any means, and most of the things people are concerned about can be disabled. The "Rolling release" where new versions of Windows are effectively provided as an update going forward is interesting though of course raises the question of how Microsoft makes money from it and whether in some way customers become the product. |
