Best Windows for low-power, eMMC machine?

Hi! 

I am mainly a desktop user, but occasionally, I need my laptop.

I was wondering if I could get any performance benefits if I installed Win7 or Win8 on my laptop.

Specs:
 

Acer SF114-31-P8NC
Product code: NX.SHWEG.006

Processor: N3710 1.6 GHz
Internal memory: 4 GB DDR3L-SDRAM
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 405
Storage: 64 GB Flash eMMC

The laptop has no upgrade path, so the only thing I can do to make it more responsive is to try a different OS. 

Do you think 7 or 8 would make it at least a bit more responsive?

I am not worried about security updates and such, and I am not a fan of Linux.

Thanks!

Windows 7 should be better,

But Linux is fastest option,maybe try Manjaro Linux?
