Hey there, I see you're setting up your new gaming PC. For the games you listed—ARK, Star Citizen, X-Plane 11, CS:GO, GTA V, Rocket League, War Thunder, KSP, and a few others—you’ll want an OS that balances performance and compatibility. Windows 10 is a solid choice if you're aiming for broad game support, while Windows 7 could work but might need more optimization. If you're looking for stability and newer features, Windows 10 or even a modern Linux distro like Ubuntu might be better depending on your needs.
Windows 7 remains functional. A few minor issues have been reported with Windows 10, but they’re not critical. Microsoft continues to provide support for Windows 7. Consider saving 30 dollars for another game.
Latest DX12 games should perform better on Windows 10, so I’d opt for it whenever feasible.
Sure, I also use a flight sim that's launching soon, and it seems better optimized for Windows 10 than Windows 7. Plus, the games should run longer on Windows 10 too.
Win 10 includes DX 12 support; it could be useful for upcoming games. Upgrade your Kinguin OS to get significant savings.
It's understandable to feel puzzled. Releasing a new version next month might seem odd if you're expecting an updated operating system. Creating a flight sim for an older OS could be due to specific needs or compatibility reasons.
It all hinges on the developer's choices, not the operating systems directly.
