Windows 7 Ultimate or Windows 10?

which operating system do suggest for gaming?

Why are you considering Ultimate?

I'd say W10.

Windows 7 Ultimate is basically pointless, unless you really need to install gigabytes worth of language packs for some reason. I'd recommend Windows 10.

I'd recommend W10, as W7 will be outdated once 2020 hits... Which is only 4 years away basically.

Windows 10 (depend on hardware surport)

Plenty time to use Windows 7, don't worry...

Windows 7 has better compatibility for older games. Windows 10 has DirectX 12, but Windows 7 will have Vulkan, which accomplishes the same performance enhancement that DirectX 12 does, through low-level interaction between a graphics driver and system hardware.

 

Windows 7 will continue to receive updates from Microsoft until 2020, so it still has almost half of its 10 year support life to go.

 

Having Windows 7 allows for a free upgrade to Windows 10, so having a Windows 7 license is equal to having both Windows 7 and 10, rather than just 10. A Windows 7 license is also much cheaper than a Windows 10 license, so getting a Windows 7 license is like buying Windows 10 for very cheap, and also getting Windows 7 along with it. Just be sure to activate the free upgrade within the free year timeline that Microsoft is providing for free Windows 10 upgrades. You can install Windows 7 afterwards, and once activated for Windows 10 your license will always be compatible with Windows 10 going forward.

 

In the end, both 7 and 10 are good for gaming, but if you want the most hassle-free gaming with older games, then Windows 7 might be more accommodating. I hope that eventually everything will run on Windows 10 just as easily as on Windows 7.

 

I've got both Windows 7 and 10 installed. With aspects of use in general, I feel that Windows 10 is more restricted in its usability than Windows 7. Administrator permissions seems to have more hang-ups in Windows 10, and getting things to just work as commanded in Windows 10 can sometimes take a lot more work than in Windows 7.

 

If it's all about gaming, then I suggest Windows 7 for now, and make sure you activate your Windows 7 license with the free Windows 10 upgrade. Then you can move to Windows 10 at any time in the future, and don't have to worry about not using it right now.

Windows 10 will receive a 10 year lifetime support just like Windows 7, with mainstream support probably also ending mid-way just like Windows 7's. If 4 years seems like it's too close to bother with to you, then Windows 10 also has just under 5 years left in its main-stream support, and so its practical usability windows, going by the perspective you've presented, is little enough that Windows 10 isn't worth moving to.

Windows 7 already left mainstream support...

Windows 7 already left mainstream support...

Yes, but it still has almost half its lifetime support to come. If that period of time is too short to bother with, then it also would be the same towards Windows 10's mainstream support. The point is, that's a whole lot of meaningful time.
