10 & 7 are both botnets, but 7 is less so.

10 is actually more secure and lightweight, if you're concerned about privacy, just disable them on the settings and use a local account, not a microsoft account.

Just so you know, since PC and Scorpio will share games, MIcrojews will ensure that everything runs only on Windows 10.

OP here. I look at it this way: I've been using Windows 7 for years and I'm satisfied.

I don't like that. I should be able to control the entirety of the operating system. If I want to turn a feature off, I should be able to. W7 isn't perfect about that either, but it's a lot better than W10.

If you go for W10 get Enterprise. I THINK piracy is your only option because that shit isn't available to normal users.

Enterprise along with stuff to remove/disable all the bullshit and you're good to go. That's what I plan on doing when I eventually get around to reformatting.

your settings don't matter at all, unless you're running Enterprise edition.
sure is hard to comprehend when you're a brainlet, but that's the facts.

I have two systems, one for work, one for gaming.

You'd be a fool to run a work machine on 10. None of that data is safe from tampering and the system will auto update without your permission *still, even after they SAID this wouldn't happen AND you modify the registry AND you change the settings from services.msc*

I haven't changed my gaming pc over from 10 because I just got it and wanted to test the SSD loading from one to the other. The 7 machine boots faster with roughly identical hardware.

I have had scores of issues getting legacy stuff to work on 10 and even modern devices, such as a wacom cintiq pose problems when using photoshop CS6 under 10.

Why? You had built-in tools and official Microsoft tools to stop that, see >>380087774

10 was never vulnerable though.

On 10 I have issues with notifications freezing my taskbar and occasionally crashing my PC.

Never had this issue on 7.

Also, 10's forced vsync is so fucking frustrating. Windowed fullscreen is unplayable on 8+.

>getting attention
Thanks.

Some people here seems to recommend Windows 10.
Some comments such as, it works fine, privacy issues were fixed, it's good and runs well.
While W7 is criticized to oblivion, with "arguments" such as; it sucks, it's obsolete, W10 performs FAR better (light-years, etc...), its security is shit because hackers can get into it.

Anyway, those are blatantly shilling, thus lacking substance.
There, I think everyone's agreeing up to this point.

However, they could have their point, disproving there trolling/shilling attitude and making them legitimates opinions.

That point is using Windows 10 as a separate system for video games ONLY.
Dual boot, or using 2 different SSDs, one for your primary OS, second for your gaming only OS.
Or even just, using 2 different computers, one for your personal stuff and one for gaming, but you would have to use a different VLAN for the W10 botnet to remain ineffective on your personal DATA.

By not making this point, they are just making fool of themselves by blinding promoting their OS or commercial product.

How much do you get paid for this damage control?
W10 included SMBv1 which was concerned by the NSA exploit used by Wannacry. W10 got a security update back in march to fix the exploit. Only build unaffected is the latest one.

I'm getting Windows 10 so I can play Sea of Thieves, Crackdown 3, and Anthem without having to buy an Xbox One.

How stupid do you have to be to get it?

Windows 10 is better with resources and has access to xbone games. Spyware is exactly the same on both systems and you can't evade updating it, win7 gets it in hidden system upgrade you can't even block. Also personally I prefer win10 interface, it's more informative and flexible.

updates download automatically and bits doesn't work properly so it will suck up all your bandwidth and leave none for the game you're playing, so you'll lag out and dc
when updates are finished downloading they'll install, which slows down disk access
when updates are finished installing, it's supposed to only bug you to restart, but i left updates installing overnight and found that it had restarted even though i had other shit up that was running

only good thing that's come out of win10 so far is edge replacing ie and (as of the latest update) getting proper extension support so ublock origin can finally work on it

How self-absorbed does one man have to be to think anybody actually cares about him?

Windows 10 is literally designed to collect your information so microsoft can sell it.

In fact, they make the system as user un-friendly as possible.

They outright removed the search bar so that if you want to do a system search for literally anything, you HAVE to use Cortana, which collects your data and sends it to microsoft.

you have no control over updates at all, it isn't giving you a fucking option, you WILL install that update whether you like it or not.

it has ads by default, and it doesnt matter that you can disable them, that shit is still unacceptable.

Windows 10 is garbage.

I'd say Windows 10 since it's pretty stable at this point, but have a backup of Windows 7 or put it on dual boot in case MS decides to flip the "fuck all of our users" switch. You'll have access to whatever games they release in the future too, there's that.

I have Windows 7 on dual boot and pretty much use Windows 10 exclusively now because it's basically the exact same once you configure it to your liking. Although the main reason I'm using Windows 10 now is because I got a new external amp a couple of months ago and its driver doesn't work properly on Windows 7.

Just instal clean, lastest, not-via-update-shit version of Windows 10 and enjoy. Yes. You can use your Windows 7/8/8.1 key too.

In case you are stealing OS - fuck you.
