SnakeOil78 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I'm building a new pc next week and I'm trying to figure out if i should go windows 10 or windows 7, I remember loving 7 on my old laptop but I read that win 10 does better for gaming but I've noticed some issues with some of the 3rd party programs like Mod organizer when using windows 10 on this pc. anyone have some concrete reason as to which is better?

Rabbit1251 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I've used both and love the both of them. With Win 10 you may have some issues with some programs not working well but there are ways to resolve them. Win 10 was built with 64 bit in mind so it supports it well. Win 7 (a really great operating system) is no longer supported by MicroSoft so there will be no more updates leaving it open to hackers. If I were to build a new gaming machine right now my choice would be Win 10 without a second thought. I hope that this helps. The Rabbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorKaizeld Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 just get 10. games in the future will stop being able to play on 7 sooner rather than later. 10 isn't as bad as everyone claims, it is far better than 8.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMastersSon Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Win 7 is on extended support (security updates etc) from MS through 2020. Since the introduction of Win 10 nobody has given me a single compelling reason to use it, while the list of reasons not to has grown every single month.

JimboUK Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Bite the bullet and go with 10, it's nowhere near as bad as people make out and it's what current games, software, drivers etc are primarily being developed for. I would recommend the pro version as that lets you defer updates, if there's a bad one you can keep it at arm's length until it's fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakeOil78 Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 Ok thanks guys guess I'll get 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BinakAlgo Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 But there was a problem with memory management with win 10 with 32 bits Skyrim, wasn't? The limit of vram and ram memory to use was less than4,000 KB? If the SKSE64 works and you'll be using the Special Edition I guess that won't be a problem, but I just wanted to mention it.

TheMastersSon Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 We recently read MS finally patched Win 10 for >4GB vram support in DX9 games including Skyrim. So far it's the only item removed from our Win 10 dealbreaker list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
