Windows 7 or 8.1?

Go to solution Solved by mgsstar,

When I put the product key in during the installation it says that it is invalid and won't even let me continue past that no matter what i do :/. I was gonna get an ssd tomorrow because even when i had win 8.1 it was still pretty slow for me when it comes to opening programs and stuff. Support isn't really much of a deal breaker to me as much as it is to other people. By the time 7 support ends, hopefully microsoft will get their shit together and actually make a better version of windows. But as of now, I'm leaning towards 7. I also realized that with my keyboard (Razer Deathstalker), it has more input lag than on 7.

 

The metro design is awful imo, but I can live without a start menu (Maybe not for much longer though)

Windows 8.1 has all the features of Windows 7, so go for it!..

Its the best!..

I would go 8.1. Its newer, and windows 8.1 is faster in games and applications and is also much more secure

I recently upgraded my PC to Windows 8.1 and I don't have anything to complain about it! Fast, reliable and makes my games runs a lot better. That's all I could ask for!
