I use Windows 8.1 on both my computer and laptop for school and work, but I’m moving to Windows 10 at this time. I’m confused because you’re still using Windows 7. I keep dual-booting it and run it on an older machine mainly because it’s simpler for installing unsigned drivers and I just like the nostalgia of it. I feel Windows 7 is still one of the best operating systems Microsoft has made compared to XP, especially since I’ve spent so much time with it—it’s impressive how I can use it without help. I’m planning to upgrade soon to 10 for better support of modern hardware like SSDs and gaming features such as DX12. Still unsure if it will be perfect at 100%.
I use Windows 7 since Windows 8.1 doesn’t care about small speed improvements—it won’t end anything. Don’t try to fix what isn’t broken.
I understand how to navigate it well, I don’t prefer the overall ecosystem approach (that’s why I didn’t like Yosemite). I appreciate the look, I rely heavily on older programs that Windows 10 might break, and it meets all my requirements.
My system runs Windows 8.1 with Classic Shell enabled, restoring the original 7 interface.
I used Windows 7 PRO before the release of Windows 10 PRO, which came out shortly after. The installation went smoothly, though I encountered a few hiccups with Nvidia drivers that I resolved by making some adjustments. No major problems have arisen since then.
I’ve tried 8.1 on laptops before, but it just feels upside down when doing everyday tasks. I’m moving up to 10 because it’s a fresh coat of paint and it includes the features I rely on most in the right places.
