Choose Windows 7 or 8 for your system.
Choose Windows 7 or 8 for your system.
I’m planning to set up a fresh system soon, but I’m unsure whether to choose Windows 7 or 8.1. I need to decide on a license so I can sell or trade my old computer with a functional version of Windows.
It doesn't really matter which option you choose. The cheaper one will likely get you free upgrades to Windows 10 soon. You could also try Windows Technical Preview now for free and purchase Windows 10 later. It might be less expensive than buying Windows 7/8.1 at the moment, but the worst case is they could end up at the same price.
Windows 8.1 offers superior performance compared to Windows 7. You could choose 8.1 and receive Windows 10 at no extra cost.
Any affordable option will be available for Win 10 later this year at no cost.
Windows 8 offers a slight edge for gaming. Windows 7 tends to become less stable as time passes.
