Hello,

 

 

(firstly let me tell you that my english is not so good)

 

 

i have a question:

I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit

the question is should i upgrade to windwos 10 profesional?

 

I use my computer mainly for gaming and do some stuff for school.

 

Specs:

MSI Gaming 7 x99 Series

i7 5820k

16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX

Samsung 850 Pro SSD 256 GB

GTX 680 (will be changed to new AMD Vega soon)

1TB SSHD from Seagate

 

So would an upgrade be usefull?

Some say yes others say not it isn´t so much better.

Once you turn off all of the spying stuff off and you put a proper start menu on, it's a fantastic OS.

Windows 10 would run absolutely fine on that system. It depends on if you should or not. You should go ahead and upgrade if there are programs you want that require Windows 10. I personally would. 

Main System: Phobos

AMD Ryzen 7 2700 (8C/16T), ASRock B450 Steel Legend, 16GB G.SKILL Aegis DDR4 3000MHz, AMD Radeon RX 570 4GB (XFX), 960GB Crucial M500, 2TB Seagate BarraCuda, Windows 10 Pro for Workstations/macOS Catalina

 

Secondary System: York

Intel Core i7-2600 (4C/8T), ASUS P8Z68-V/GEN3, 16GB GEIL Enhance Corsa DDR3 1600MHz, Zotac GeForce GTX 550 Ti 1GB, 240GB ADATA Ultimate SU650, Windows 10 Pro for Workstations

 

Older File Server: Yet to be named

Intel Pentium 4 HT (1C/2T), Intel D865GBF, 3GB DDR 400MHz, ATI Radeon HD 4650 1GB (HIS), 80GB WD Caviar, 320GB Hitachi Deskstar, Windows XP Pro SP3, Windows Server 2003 R2

Absolutely. Go nuts. Windows 10 is a great OS with a few tiny annoyances which are slowly but surely being fixed.

Judge a product on its own merits AND the company that made it.

Personally I like windows 10, it has a lot more drivers out of the box, so you don't need to go looking for them. I haven't had any problems with windows 10 on any of my systems or systems I have built for others.

If I were you though, I would make a backup image of the system you have now and store somewhere safe, not on the PC you are using. Then at least if you have problems you can re-iamge your system back onto the PC and have it just as you left it... just in case.

Please quote my post, or put @paddy-stone if you want me to respond to you.
