[Vulrax]

Should i switch to windows 10, i have been on windows 7 for reasons that i am still confused about. Is it worth it or should i stay in windows 7.

May as well, its a good os which didn't need any more or less tweaking to get to my liking than windows 7 did.

i personally like the productivity and physical looks much better than 7.

never looking back from windows 10

I would advise staying away from Win10 and using Linux instead- unless you have software that requires Windows to run.

If you must use Windows (for software compatibility or just gaming), Windows 10 is the way to go for now, DX12 can't be found elsewhere and personally i'd say that outside the insiders version, the system is very stable, not mentioning security.

I don't know about you, but i just can't stand the glass inspired Aero effects of W7 anymore, i know it can be modified by deviantart themes, but its just too much effort and most of those are very buggy, but the original just feels very dated nowadays.

In your position, i would switch it.

i would only upgrade if i wanted to experience the new DirectX. Win 7 is still good for another 3 years and it might get extended like win xp was

I know you can, but then it feels clunky, like you'd be using XP, and i'm frankly spoiled by modern smooth window animations as of now...

If you are gamer definitely. if you use it for Office Suite or Design then its a big "NO"

 

But if you are working with Audio or Video editing Windows 8.1 is most stable and less latency

Thanks for the responds, i think i will switch to it seeing as being a gamer i see its very beneficial to use winders 10

Why?  DX12 in general is still no improvement over DX11 and even Linus pointed out on the last WAN show that 8.1 performed better than 10 in benchmarks.

try 2017 games youll see the difference

While many people don't like Windows 10 looks, I FInd that Windows 10 (and 8 for that matter) are far better Operating Systems from a system stability and resource utilisation standpoint.

 

that alone is worth upgrading IMHO. Plus a lot of newer technology went in., like DX12. 

 

Honestly though, Windows 8.x was the fastest and most Stable windows version I have ever used. Windows 10 is just slightly behind.

If you don't know why you'd install Windows 10, then there's no point. It's basically Windows 7 with a lot of crap layered on top. Windows is not faster, more stable, more secure, more compatible, or leaner in system resources-usage than Windows 7, so all you'd be doing in going to Windows 10 is playing into a psychological trick.

 

I'd say that Windows 7 is more stable, secure, and uses less system resources than Windows 10.

 

I've put a lot of views on the differences between Windows 7 and 10 in this blog post:

I'm running both on my machine, and I think that if it weren't for the different-looking UI, or constant annoying messages in Windows 10, or its in-OS ads, etc, most people would never be able to tell whether the OS they use is Windows 7 or 10.
