all of them. its the nature of proprietary software that the vendor only supports the OS available at the time.

So currently i have a little project pc, its fairly old and doesnt have a use right now. I currently has windows server 2003 installed on it. I was wondering if i installed windows 10 on it would it make it slower. It has an amd sempron 2200+ And 2 gb of ram.

7 was just a tad slower than XP on the PC in sig. Haven't tried 10 on it but I sincerely doubt it'll even load correct chipset drivers since that was an issue with a newer Athlon x2 system

Should i just load win7 on it then?

youre going to have driver issues. it would be more practical to run linux on it

Driver issues? For what components?

I agree with @SCHISCHKA because some computer components drivers are only capable in some OS. I wanted to downgrade from windows 10 to windows 7, and I found out that my drivers support windows 8.1 or higher.

 

Unless you buy the components that are capable on any OS.
