Stick with Windows 8.1 or move to Windows 7?
Stick with Windows 8.1 or move to Windows 7?
So I noticed that for CS6 and above <Adobe> Windows 8 and 8.1 have some type of bug that is incompatible with the programs; as a result, you have to limit the GPU by switching it to Basic mode, which limits you severely if you go to render or perform high quality edits. Should I downgrade to Windows 7 and deal with it, or do I keep 8.1 and hope that a solution emerges from Adobe? Combine this with other bugs between other design programs and I'm not exactly sure if I should downgrade or not. Any advice would be welcome. P.S. This is a brand new build, so data or incompatibility shouldn't be an issue.
It depends on your preference, but I’m open to using Adobe if it meets your needs. Would you prefer 7 features over 8?
Yes, it seems likely the release will occur in September of this year.
it seems there are no major issues with windows 8 and cs6. the only problem appears to be third-party filters not displaying correctly, likely related to your computer or drivers. you might want to uninstall all your existing drivers and install the latest ones.
