The core issue lies in altering the GUI from the original or Windows 8.1/10 versions. The functionality is enhanced more effectively than simply reducing features while simplifying the OS.
Windows 7 consumes different resource levels compared to other versions. I verified this. Running Windows 7 with just 1-2GB RAM is causing issues, whereas Windows 8.1 handles it smoothly. The system doesn’t support two displays at once; you’ll need DisplayFusion to turn on taskbars or additional wallpapers. You mentioned setting up Windows 7 is fine, but setting up Windows 8.1 isn’t advisable, which is good to know.
Well i Don't see why i should upgrade at all if there are no noticeable differences
I personally prefer Windows 10 Metro, particularly the control panel updates... If you don’t require something that pushes you toward 7 or 8.1... give it a try.
It seems you're questioning the fairness of your testing setup. Your observations came from installing Windows 7 and 8.1 on different hardware—your 320GB drive with a 5400RPM HDD and your 240GB OCZ ARC 100 with 2GB RAM. You noted both OSes ran for about a week using the same software and drivers. While Windows 8.1 offers extra features like extending the taskbar and changing wallpapers, your initial tests didn<|pad|> to show it could still function well with just two displays. What you're describing is a valid approach, but results can vary based on hardware and software configuration.
