Which Windows?

[Minidud19]

I hope i don't start a war over this. Okay so i'm just wondering which windows is Better for gaming, editing videos, programing and everyday use. Windows 7 or Windows 8/.1 Windows 10? 

[TheKDub]

I personally use windows 8.1, windows 10 has a severe lack of privacy, and windows 7 is unfortunately getting a bit outdated, and has some bugs that I doubt will be fixed

 

So my opinion: Windows 8.1.

10 imho No "spying" privacy concerns have been proven

I know more than plenty about building PCs, I'm sure I could offer some decent advice.

 

What's your budget? intended usage? preferences? and what's your current list?

You didn't even look at them did you?

 

Microsoft has admitted that windows 10 does spy on its users, they've also admitted to automatically installing windows 10 on some windows 7 and 8/8.1 machines, they've also said that the spying done by windows 10 cannot be stopped by the user as it's baked into the OS.

 

So yes, it has been proven that microsoft is spying on windows 10 users.

yes I did one brought my to a home page the other eventually worked assumed it was broken too.

prove to me the data is sensitive, they haven't admitted to spying they are admitting to collecting telemetry data which as I said pretty much every software imaginable does already

Don't get the 850 pro, get the 850 evo instead.

And it's called storage, not memory..

 

Other than that, it looks alright.

Lol sorry for that mistake. Also why not the Pro? Was something wrong with it?

It's had a few performance issues and such from what I've heard, whereas the 850 evo has not. (I've got an 850 evo and can confirm that it works amazing)
