Choose your operating system: Windows 7 or Windows 10?
Windows 10 uses less memory, storage, and processing power compared to older versions. It also offers better compatibility with newer software than Windows 7. I couldn't run Fallout 3 on Windows 7, but it runs smoothly on Windows 10.
Windows 10 starts significantly faster than version 7, regardless of whether 7 runs on an SSD or 10 uses a slower SATA 2 HDD.
MSX clearly outperforms Windows 7 in performance. The main drawbacks are possible early issues and outdated drivers, plus some spyware, though these shouldn’t cause major problems with caution.
7 and keep it simple. Avoid Windows 10 unless you assembled your own system.
I initially relied on the automatic updater, but I've been quite doubtful about it from the start. An operating system only truly shines when it's a fresh, clean installation, as I understood. Luckily, I managed to install micros tools in every game I played. Still, using one formatted SSD and performing a clean install with the ISO file later resolved everything for me. In my opinion, Windows 10 is clearly superior to Windows 7—it allows you to use a second monitor alongside the taskbar without needing third-party software. The "WINDOWS 10 IS SPYING ON YOU!!!1!1!1!" claims from the media have been misleading and incorrect, especially in Germany; they can be easily disabled. From a performance standpoint, Windows 10 is a bit better than Windows 7, but with DirectX 12 updates and upcoming GPU advancements, we'll see more clearly what new capabilities Windows 10 offers.
