Windows 7 VS 10

[niandra]

I got a new gaming computer and managed to get it on Windows 7, but Windows 7 is outdated now and won't be as secure and won't work for newer games (maybe). I do have virus protection but still, is it worth it to upgrade to Windows 10 for the security and updates?

1# Gaming PC = DX12 = Windows 10
2#Most games are running much better on Windows 10.
3# Windows 10 is faster than 7.

Yes, Windows 10 is more fast, and has zero problems on STEAM.

just remember to update all your drivers to windows 10 versions, you will see all these idiots crying out it doesnt work because they never update the drivers, its why it has such a bad reputation.

Check your moterboard manufactuerers website for chipset drivers, and your GPU makers website for graphics updates for windows 10.

The only thing Windows 10 offers for gaming is DX12. Windows 7 will be supported for security updates for quite a while. What are your system specs? If your computer came with Windows 7, it is probably fairly old.

Windows 8 was more stable and faster than 7 + extra fps in DX11 games.

and this guy just bought his new PC

Windows 7 is perfectly fine and will be updated for many more years and is 100% stable.

Windows 10 while a good OS and better than Win8 comes with its own problems.

Example: a game you run at High settings on with Win7, you may not be able to do on Win10. as from personal experience. There seems to be graphic quality differences with certain games on Win10 when compared to Win7.

My suggestion is
KEEP Win7
Upgrade to Win10 before July which is when the Free Upgrade period runs out(if the time hasnt changed) so you can get it registered.

See if you like it, if not revert back to Win7 and you'll still be able to switch later on when Win10 gets proper hotfixes..

Older systems should stick with Win7 due to limited availability of Win10 drivers.
