Windows 7? 8.1? 10?

Ok so the community has been rough on me for the past week or so so go easy on me

Ok so I have been disliking Windows 10 and I feel like it's not the best for gaming. I am thinking about wiping me PC completly then getting windows 7 (I had a shatty laptop that player games like csgo better on 7 basic than 10 pro) but then i remmemberd that there was windows 8.1 so I was thinking to my self now I have 2 choices and so now that I have 2 wtf do I pick???

So the game's that I love to play all the time are, Payday 2, CS:GO (veary competativly), Fallout 4 (just got into modding), and BO3 (when I'm banned or board from thoe's other games)
NOTE: I did not add the other games I own and play sometimes on occasion because I can run them fine regardless. So what do I upgrade to???

The only thing that I am worried about is the new DX12 and how all new games are going to requier it (I think?). So if I do have to end up degrading because of the amount of people who will probably tell me to please tell me why and what OS.

I do run a AMD A10-8700P Radeon R6, 10 compute Cores 4C+6G 1.80 GHz with 8.00 GB of installed RAM and a 64 bit operationg system

So please tell me why I should keep or downgrade my pc below and not be really salty in the chat :D:steamhappy:

Windows 10 is the way to go for gaming as it's faster and more stable then win 7 and even 8.

You will need a better computer for heavy gaming though as it's rather on the low end with a slow amd cpu and integrated gpu.

I suggest getting a normal desktop as that laptop you are using will hold you back and win 10 might be a bit slower because of that.

I can't be sure, but seeing how much MS is pushing 10, games will probably only support Windows 7/8 for another year or two. If you're fine with that, get 7. There is NO reason to get 8 when IMO both 7 and 10 are better. However, your PC doesn't sound to powerful and will not only not run games that far in the future, but you will get no advantage from DX12, in fact you may get worse performance just because your using it than you would in Windows 7/8.

If you are doing this soon, one option is dual-boot ing 7 and 10. I've never tried dual booting, but I believe you have the right to with Windows. If you want to, set up your PC to dual boot (there are countless guides online), then install 7 on both boots and upgrade one to 10.

But for Performance with the PC specs I have 7 or 10 ? which one do you reccomend heavily
?

I have been running Windows 10 for a 4-5 months. Now I'm using 8.1. Because I had a lot of problems on W10 like FPS drops, stuttering. Now I'm fine on 8.1. Your choice

TheyDontKnowUs 2016 年 6 月 19 日下午 6:46

Especially if you are running old system, its hard to find utilities for W10.

DX12 is not going to turn an APU into a mid-range rig. Windows 10 and DX12 will bring better performance with your current hardware, but don't expect miracles. As far as I'm concerned, Windows 8/8.1 are irrelevant with the release of Windows 10.

DX11 will be supported for a few more years. Windows 7 itself is in extended support, so not even Microsoft is giving full support for it anymore.

Unless you need the power of DX12, I see no reason to use Windows 10.

I looked into this and you are right windows ten does stutter a lot and I see no reason to go with at least win 8.1 instead of 7 (but i will use 7 on laptop definantly better for me) And also 10 has to much running in the back for it to even game on

For example I have M5A99X EVO R2.0 motherboard. On drivers page W10 almost empty. Just has BIOS, ethernet and audio drivers which you can download latest versions on manufacturer. But on 8.1 page it has a lot utilities which Aı Tweaker for overclcoking and monitoring. When I was using W10, downloaded Aı tweaker on 8.1 page but as I said a lot of problems occured. I won't go W10 again until DX12 completely supported.

Windows 7. From what I can tell, your setup isn't DX12 compatible (I remember looking into it when I had an A10 a 6800k and I'm not even sure it could do DX11.1). This means at best, you'll have equal performance on the two. If one of them performs worse, it'll be Windows 10.

Also, another factor in 7's favor is better backwards compatibility, which is why I'm still using it on my A10 7890k, even though it IS DX12 compatible (11.2 feature set, though). I also like XP mode, even though there are several ways to do the same thing with other software (some more legal than others, though).

If your hardware isnt capable of taking advantage of the win 10 features or 8.xx then stick with 7 if you already own it.

Win10 works fine on older systems; what you need to avoid is a blind upgrade.
First of all, never handle Windows OS as an in-place-Upgrade; always clean install the OS you wish to try and/or use.

Look into the Chipset and GPU and ensure you have Win10 drivers available for all your hardware. Which is just common sense and something you must do on your own. You can't expect an OS newer and/or older than the hardware itself to have proper support. But that does mean some do not. Take Laptops for example Win10 is generally fine on basically every Intel based laptop dating back to the Intel Core 2 Duo series of hardware.

As far as general software goes; if they support Win7 / 8, then generally they already support Win10 as well. So what is the issue there.

Performance is generally un-changed; it shouldn't be any different on Win10 compared to 7 or 8.1; if so then you probably failed to install something the OS requires to run everything as intended; such as Drivers.
