You're considering switching from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 Pro for your university setup. I've seen free options like Dreamspark's Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro for students, which offers a similar experience with extra features for embedded systems. Many users have tried it and found it works well for their needs. It may provide better performance or specific tools relevant to your work. However, some might notice differences in compatibility or user interface compared to standard Windows 8.1 Pro. It's worth testing it out if you're unsure. Let me know if you'd like more details!
