Windows 7 remains superior. What do you think about it?
Hello there. I updated to Windows 10 2018 Spring Update, but many issues arose. The game frame rate dropped. Google Chrome stopped working (I reinstalled it, but problems returned) and more... Is Microsoft fixing the newer version? Recently, the Windows 10 share surpassed Windows 7. Still, I believe Windows 7 remains better. What do you think? If many bugs return to my place, I’ll reinstall Windows 7 on this computer (as I write this).
Upgrading from an earlier version to Windows 10, cloning or moving it, or neglecting proper upkeep can lead to problems. This isn't a flaw in Windows 10 itself, but rather a result of your actions. A clean installation and regular maintenance will prevent such issues.
Windows 7 shows much better stability compared to what Windows 10 has been, even now. Unfortunately, I’m forced to use Windows 10 for playing UWP games, but I also face the same Chrome problems—it keeps crashing. I installed Windows 7 on my laptop and it works fine there, while the installation was about two and a half years ago.
Thank you for your suggestion. I'll begin with a fresh Windows 10 setup first. I'm still using SundyBridge CPU, so I prefer Windows 7. If it causes issues after the clean install, I'll revert to Windows 7.
When installed properly, Windows 10 offers the same stability as Windows 7. Unless "stable" refers to being foolproof, Windows 7 might seem safer in that regard. For performance, Windows 10 performs better. Sandbox Bridge doesn’t provide an advantage over Windows 7.
I’m familiar with setting up Windows properly, but I’ve run into a lot of problems with Windows 10 since its launch. Issues include UWP games, frequent updates that reset settings or break installs, and driver problems. Not everyone has time to reinstall everything from scratch each time Microsoft releases a new version—some of us have other priorities. Also, if they wanted users to start fresh, they’d likely push updates directly rather than relying on Windows Update.
It seems you're pointing out a few things. It looks like you've had no problems with Windows updates after installing Windows 10, which is great. However, you mentioned some issues during the upgrade from version 7 to 10. It might be worth noting that the upgrade process could have been problematic, and it's understandable that you'd feel it wasn't handled well.
I don't see your point. I recently installed a fresh Windows 10 last summer. In February I performed one of those major updates, and afterward all my games suffered from unplayable frame rates—even the menus slowed down. I had to revert to a restore point and postpone updates for three months before the update stopped breaking my games. Since then, I've been creating restore points every month. It seems Windows 10 is not well-tested.
