What's so wrong with 8.1?
>faster than XP and 7 on older HW

>>62448015
Just use Windows 10 by that point.

It's faster than 10, also. They have gradually been adding more and more garbage to 10 at such a rate that you practically have to buy more powerful hardware every year. I say "practically" but it's just not practical.

Windows 98 is good also m8. It runs very old games, win 1.0 and DOS games/

I might try that for the next clean install.
I have older HW anyway so I'll just keep 8.1 for 2 years more or so.
Just remember to remover the telemetry updates.

What logic do you use to reach this conclusion ? 8.1 is essentially 7 improved.
If you're one of those people that insist on using 7, you might as well upgrade to 8.1.

8.1 is great because you can use classic theme with DWM

Windows 7 works for some old games where Windows 8/8.1 fails.

Some DirectX related features is emulated in software in Windows 8.1

>A big thank you to user “SuperGod” in the comments section for figuring this one out. Microsoft made some changes to the way legacy DirectDraw and DirectX games run in Windows 8. This has had various effects from actually making a few games run better to completely breaking many more. In the case of No One Lives Forever, the changes caused the games FPS (frames per second) to be capped at around 30.

Granted there are fanmade patches for this kind of stuff, but Win7 just werks.

AYYMD drivers don't even install on Win8.1

Their reasoning is that people are either on Windows 7 or 10.
