Windows 10 vs Windows 7?

Post Reply New Topic

You don't need that, You probably need more than you have. But 3+Ghz Quadcore and 16 GB. Probably can run fine with 4 to 8 Gb of DDR3 RAM. and 1.5-2.5 Ghz Multi-Core

I have 2.3 dual core and 6G RAM [don't know what kind, it's in an HP pavilion laptop, 250GB SSD. but still barely runs edge, ran IE a lot better. on wrong planet it locks up [screen goes white] and eventually crashes the puter. get dialogue boxes that say I've run out of RAM and should reboot.

10 has a ton of issues....spyware in the OS itself being a big issue. To turn it ALL off takes a lot of work, and a lot of people are frustrated with it.

It is supposedly "faster" but that's also without tweaking it from the out-of-box settings.

I've finally had to use it. It seems to do a decent job at patronizing the user a bit more, even threatening to hypnotize them with those big letters on a background whose color oscillates between medium and deep blue, and at rendering computers which worked just fine obsolete overnight. Can't get better than that

why did they have to make it such a resource hog? XP ran just fine on a single-core Pentium IV and half a gig of ordinary RAM, why did they have to ruin that?

If there would be an operating system based on the Windows 8 kernel that uses the Windows 2000 user interface and the Windows 7 start menu, that would pretty much be my ideal Windows system.

Sure, why not Windows 10. Microsoft wants to have it's hand in my pants, it's spyware ratting my politics out to any government, it's programs stealing my files and analyzing them in the "cloud".....yeah, why not?

I like Windows 7 quite a lot. I'm running eight computers on Linux now. Satya Nadella can kiss my ass. To be more specific, after being picked on in high school, abused by government agencies, and exploited by Wall Street, I'm on of those cranky people who has just had enough. I wouldn't give Nixon (or Obama) a microphone in my living room. So I'm not giving Microsoft a pipeline into my thoughts.

If you don't want to play Redmond roulette every time you update, stick to Win7 or move to Linux. I had Windows 10 Pro on my laptop for a while. The Win10 anniversary update broke so much s**t, and every subsequent update made my computer less and less usable. Every time I mounted an ISO image, blue screen. Took out a flash drive, blue screen. CPU-intensive app, bluescreen. Looked at my laptop too hard, blue screen. Windows Server 2008 R2 runs fine though.

frankly, Edge sucks.
