Windows 8 or Server 2012 R2

Windows 7. Every other answer is objectively wrong

Win 7 would be the best but otherwise the standard win8 will have to do then download a start menu app. Make two accounts one for the user (non admin) and another admin account for yourself to fix things when they break it.

Server has less bloated shit and a lighter aero theme (which you can also install on Win 8.1)

>Plus, does dazloader work for Win8?

No. Use KMS Pico instead

>download a start menu app
Yeah, that will be the first thing I do with Win8. Thanks for the tip.

But Server would need to be configured with the Desktop Experience, right? Is light gaming possible with Server as well?

>>56643195
I see, thanks.

Gaming is probably possible yes why wouldn't it

>>56643350
I thought with a Server on its name, it would have stripped off all of its gaming capabilities.

>>56643454
I never tested but you'll probably just need a D3D dll to get going

It works for Server 2012.
Other than that, MSToolkit will solve the problem.

If you're going to be gaming why not just use windows 7? No shitty metro UI, better compatibility with games etc

Hmm, I am more inclined to Server then. Already have a daz, and the minimal bloat is a plus.

>>56643583
Its only light gaming, with memecraft or whatnot. And since I might be doing more of such maintenance for retards, I might as well get the latest, least-botnet choice.

>>56643159
basically 3.1 tier at this point...

time to upgrade

It's only an upgrade if the OS you change to is actually better than the one you started with. Still waiting for that.
