I believe Windows 8.1 outperforms Windows 7 for several reasons. It launches quicker, supports DirectX 11.2, delivers improved gaming performance, runs with fewer system resources making it lighter, and the Metro interface helps organize program icons effectively. Additional perks include smoother updates and overall a more refined experience compared to Windows 7.
I can afford the Student version for $70, but another concern is that is it are you able to keep EVERYTHING if I'm upgrading from 7 to 8.
It's more adaptable through its flexible configuration options.
