Which system is it: W7 or W8?
I'm planning to set up another system soon and will need a second Windows copy. I'm not sure which version to choose—should I stick with Windows 7 in 2014 or switch to Windows 8? Honestly, I prefer Windows 7 because it's familiar, I'm comfortable with it, and I worry I won't adjust as much with Windows 8. My setup includes an i7 5820k processor, an Asus Rampage V Extreme motherboard, and a Samsung 850 PRO or EVO drive. I'll perform overclocking, and the main use will be gaming.
Use a tool like Start8 to restore the Start menu on Windows 8.1
I suggest W8. For extended use, driver and other support will remain available longer on W8.
Windows 8.1 offers a more comprehensive experience overall. I use 7 on my desktop and 8.1 on my laptop (not a touchscreen), and I favor the latter version.
It offers a high degree of personalization similar to W7. If you decide to move to W8, you’ll probably switch right away to W10 when it launches.
Start8 offers more flexibility compared to the Windows 7 interface.
Windows 8 offers marginally improved gaming performance over Windows 7, making it a better choice in that area. While you might prefer Windows 7 due to familiarity, the shift in operating systems should be embraced for its advantages. Ultimately, the decision depends on individual tastes.
Alright thanks guys, Windows 8 it is , Does windows 8 also have a Home premium, pro, ultimate version? And if so, which of those would be best for my system in particular. I'm currently on windows 7 home premium
