You're considering switching from Windows 7 to Windows 10 on your desktop while keeping Windows 7 on your laptop. Upgrading both could improve performance, especially if you're using the school computer for demanding tasks. Others suggest it might boost speed and compatibility, but some worry about compatibility issues or the learning curve if you're not familiar with Windows 10. It depends on your specific needs and how well the two versions work together.

Certainly, keeping the most recent update is essential.

Typically, there’s no good reason not to move to a newer operating system. Especially since it’s free and quite simple to obtain as well.

I received an 8.1 Pro on my PC and a Win 7 on my laptop. Upgrading both to Win 10 would make everything run quicker, including games. Why not make the most of your hardware and enjoy faster performance without extra cost?

The primary issue with my laptop is the boot time—about 2 to 3 minutes on startup, which isn’t ideal for me.

Certainly, but only for titles that work with DX12. Adding a DX 11 application to a new operating system that supports DX12 doesn't instantly classify it as a DX12 title. Yet, WDDM 2.0 (Windows Display Driver Model) in Windows 10 assists the GPU, allowing certain DX 11 games to run smoother and achieve higher frame rates compared to older versions on Windows 8.1 (which uses WDDM 1.3) and earlier releases. You can verify this by watching YouTube videos where developers compare frame rates across different DX 11 titles.

I understand the concerns; the only issue I’m aware of is the lack of options during updates.
