Windows 10: Windows 7 or 10 which is best for Gaming ?

I've had some issues with some games not properly launching on Windows 10 but nothing major. All of my games now work except for Ghost Recon Phantoms.

 

I found that in the first year of free upgrade that W10 was glitchy for gaming but since that big update the speed of the non-tuned up W10 has improved alot with programs instantley opening with no lag, I found W7 is a bit old now really & takes up too much hard drive space.

Since W10 is Microsofts last operating system it is my thought they would improve this to be the best for the technology we use.

I think for modern games W10 is the best choice in my opinion of course.

 

I never thought I'd actually enjoy my Windows 10 before upgrading...but I have to say in complete honesty that it has exceeded my expectations.. and as I've been running Windows 10 now since the end of the free upgrade period I do love it.

 

This might be something to keep in mind. This article talks about how DX12 won't ever come to win7. That alone is worth going to win10 if you're a gamer imo. It's an old article so maybe there's something new I don't know but when I read this I made the switch.

Unless there's something new I don't know about

DirectX 12 confirmed as Windows 10 exclusive, AMD and Nvidia go head-to-head - ExtremeTech

 

I also prefer Windows 10, but my computer is new. With my previous PC I used Windows 7, and frankly speaking, I couldn't complain *Smile

 

windows 10 is definitely where it's at..

 

Windows 10, they are now saying that Windows 7 is more vulnerable to that ransomware.

 

Well, it might be Windows 10 since they really push the update for it.

 

According to me, window 7 is better than window 10 for gaming. Because, window 10 does not supporting some software’s. But in window 7 most of the software’s are working properly.

 

What software are you referring too @willsmith11 ?

 

Windows 10 supports all the programs I need for gaming, namely Steam, a Keyboard, Mouse and a Nvidia Driver.

 

I am using Windows 7 and Windows 10 both, Most of the games runs in this windows easily. But Windows 10 does not support some games. Last Sunday I have tried to install one game “Contra” but getting an error message on my laptop. I tried again and again but I am getting same error.

 

It's just a matter of preference. I personally Prefer Windows 10 now since it runs all my games well.
