Can vista be good for gaming 

i don't have windows yet and my uncle has vista.

You're gonna run into a lot of headaches running Vista today. You're almost better off giving Ubuntu or Linux Mint a go.

 

Vista isn't gonna play friendly with any games newer than around 2012-2013.

Vista has never been good for gaming...

You can use windows 10 for free........

Why would you ever use vista.

[TheCherryKing]

Use Linux. The game compatibility has improved significantly!

You will find a lot of games made for the vista era are now available on linux.

That was from when they were offering the free upgrade. And even then it was only free from 7, 8, and 8.1.

No.

You can use windows 10 for free by just not activating it.

If you did the "free upgrade" you got the full version with a key, if you install it without activating it you can still use the OS.

Ahh. I mean you can do that with any of their currently supported OSs, it's just that after a few months it will start bugging you for not registering and will lock down parts of the OS and after a bit will stop allowing updates.

Windows 10 does not "bug" you or stop updates, you just get a watermark at the bottom right of your screen and you can't change the personalization settings.

Both of these things have easy workarounds, which you need to google because we're not allowed to talk about it on this forum.

Hello

[LogicalDrm]

Vista doesn't have support anymore. So if you are going to use it, prepare to get attacked from all the sides. And Russia. And China.
