Windows

Dads work PC is still on 7, which is just used for basic excel stuff.

I moved to 10 about eight months ago and never looked back. Had to get used to it the first two weeks, but really that was the same with going from 98 to XP and XP to 7.

First thing i noticed when going from 7 to 10 was that games ran smoother, the image no longer had micro stutters. And no, not related to a messed up OS cuz i reinstalled 7 every year and it always felt the same.

That said, i have not installed the creators update yet. I guess i can try. Just need to make a backup with acronis first ^^

 

Windows 7.
I control my PC and like how it looks.

 

Win 10 Pro since 2015, currently on Creators Update. All other PCs in the house run various versions of Win 10, no reason to use Win 7 anymore on our end. Only "major" issue I've come across is old DX8 games stuttering beyond imagination, easily fixed by using d3d8to9 though. I control my PC and like how it looks. :infinity:

 

Windows 7 is dead to me, I skipped Windows 8/8.1 ****, I like Windows 10 Pro with Insiders I have been enjoy it.

2 cents.

 

Ended up installing it after making a Backup.

No issues

 

W10, and I can see no difference to W7 or W8. They all seem the same to me But I've been disabling all unneeded stuff since the XP days. That means no "Cortana" or any other stuff like that. The vanilla experience is probably different.

 

2 x Laptops windows 10 x64
2 x Desktops Windows 10 pro x64

No interest in pervious windows OS as windows 10 does everything I want

 

W10 up-to-date all the way.

 

I tested my machine (same hardware) with 8.1 and 10 pro ver and notice slow bootup/ shutdown time with win10. So for this reason I will stick to 8.1 until........

 

Main gaming PC is Win10 64bit as i wanted to keep upto date and have Directx 12 plus it was a free upgraded from win 8.1

Windows 10 is my favorite O/S i've ever used , despite all the Telemetry Collection and so called spying, but i don't have anything to hide and do understand people's concerns about the collection of their data and how this has put people off adapting to the new O/S

 

The argument with this is companies feel what the user doesn't know, doesn't hurt them and will also help them get a better understanding marketing-wise of how their product is being used. That usually means collecting other patterns of usage...

I have nothing to hide either, but that does not mean I am ok with giving any information that I don't know how its used. Since there are more and more data breaches, It's wise to think about where your information will end up.

 

I use W7 for a number of reasons. I plan on getting W10 eventually even though I hate the changes they have made to explorer. Mainly when I upgrade my PC next. Sometime in a few years.

 

Ive been on windows 10 since ground zero, transited from windows 8.1. Yes ive used all but by far windows 7 was the best installment for gaming , until windows 10 started to bug check and bug hunt. Windows 10 RC3 im on atm is flying on my rig and my wife is on a similar setup on windows 7 and it just feels so wrong now. I find window's 10 more pleasing than 8.1 and 7. But i have always upgraded and stuck with the time's. But i must say windows 2000, millennium ed and vista were the worst and sucked ****. Only time i questioned my sanity from switching to windows 10 was in early beta , mention's of the steam os araised after trying it with a massive pinch of salt an silicon , i installed 10 . As that steam os was so BAD, was like eating a scabby horse between two pissy mattress's!.

 

While Windows 8 was a bit of a mess initially and Windows 10 similarly had bugs and issues at launch too, I am glad I upgraded because it is a great operating system IMO and the best yet from Microsoft in terms of stability and overall intuitiveness. It's not perfect, no version of Windows is, but it is an evolving platform that continues to improve with each update. And since it was free then I really don't understand why anyone who has a gaming PC and an interest in playing the latest games would continue to use Windows 7.

I love my tinfoil hat, everyone should make one!

 

I am a tinfoil hat wearer, but Win 10 Enterprise LTSB has become my OS of choice.

Originally I installed it just for the odd game or 2, but I just enjoy using it so much more than 7.

 

im surprised you say that, arnt you the one with endless store issues? Though I have to agree win10 is great better then win 7 imo, it just a "bit" more temperamental to changes and tweaks...

And the whole telemetry crap is old and stale at this point for reason not to. Im sorry but they been doing it for years, just before it was not public knowlage and all over I will to bet if some read the actual EULA most this stuff would be stated but no one ever read it.

I said it once I will say it again, we live in digital internet social crazyed age, if it going threw satellites, which just about everything is at this point, your data can be taken by anyone or anything with the know how it as simple as that. your are monitored whether you want to beleive it or not.

It the price you pay for all this tech.

 

Sad post.

What is better than Windows 7?
The "telemetry crap" is a big problem that will only get worse when you are prepared to bend over and take it.
Its stale to you because you have lost your back bone.
Lucky that some of us still stand up for what is right.

What is "all this tech" that we have to sacrifice our standards for?
I'm not seeing benefits only worse problems, worse performance, loss of privacy and loss of liberty.
Oh, and loss of control.

 

Again they been take this telemetry for YEARS unless you delusional and think they havent cause its the "nice" thing to do.

Everything is Digitial today and EVERY thing going threw satellites, if people and or companies want they will get it want that data that "encrypted" they will get it no amount denying it happens will change that.

use your devices and be happy.

Seriously what did people think would happen when everything is online and digital? did they think privacy is still thing? your smart phones/pc camera/mic could be on and you would never know.

It not sad it called being realistic, is wrong? it can be, but you can stop it and no one can less snake plisken comes and emp the whole world and kill all tech.
