Is Windows 7 still worth it?

[domdom116]

Hi guys just asking would it still be worth it to get windows 7 right now cause I dont really like 8 but windows 7 might not be able to run my games in the near future and windows 10 is not an option right now........ Thanks!

lol.. if you get win 7 now you get win10 for free.. so.. yes???

yes windows 7 still a good os, and windows 10 is an option, if you can get windows 7 you can make a free upgrade to windows 10 (but i don't like it). and btw windows 8.1 is really really really really (i can write it many times) great. if you didn't like like the windows metro you can install a start menu using some of those free softwares, iobti start menu is a good one

I prefer Win 7 over 10.

 

There's nothing 10 can do that 7 can't right now. No DX12 games have been released thus far, so no difference in game compatibility.

 

If you're that worried you can upgrade to Windows 10 assuming you have a legit Windows 7 key. This offer continues until July 28th 2016.

 

Feel free to get Win 7!

Windows 10 Is 10 times faster though

Windows 7 is still a pretty good OS given its age.

if you're scared about Microsoft gathering your information then yes it is worth it.

 

But I personally prefer Windows 10 over Windows 7 now  but one thing that annoys me is my Origin icon in the pinned start menu is not a blue tile

 

But you get a free upgrade to Windows 10 so yeah, it's worth it.

If for some reason it's truly between 7 and 8.1, then Windows 7 for sure. But Windows 10 is available to all valid 7/8.1 users for free until July 29, 2016, so that's what I'd recommend.

 

(As long as all of your system components have Windows 10-compatible drivers available, that is.)

But if you can get windows 10, get it.

I'm still running on that sweet xp (will get windows 10 when I build my new pc), It mostly comes down to personal preference (mostly!)

 

EDIT : But how is 10 not an option?

[Benji_w]

Windows 7 used to be my go to but then I tried 8.1 and tbh, I find 8.1 to be better.

There's nothing 10 can do that 7 can't right now. 

 

Native .iso mounting, SecureBoot, Artificial desktops via Taskview, just to name a few things that 10 can do that 7 can't.

 

Also, subjectively better task manager. And faster boot times, less OS footprint.
