Windows 7. If you are asking this go back to >>>/v/ retard
>>54400620
hardware newer than 2010? High PPI screen? >>>10
otherwise? >>>7
>>54400699
Or just windows 7 and not windows 10.
>>54400699
there is nothing wrong with win7 regarding either of those criteria
I made a simple flowchart for you and the rest of /v/.

As much as I enjoy hating on things, I wanna at least try Windows 10 just to see what it's like. Anyone know where I can get it so I can run it on a virtual machine?
8.1 + Classic Shell

Did you like even bother trying the usual sources?
Just make sure to get the enterprise one.

Windows 7 every day all day. Anyone who says Windows 10 is a retard or a shill.

Nah I was taking a dump. I'm about to try them now though

There's no debate. Windows is botnet since 1995, not matter what version.
>tfw forced to use Windows 10 for work
>>54400834
Honestly this is very comfy.
i have "activated" windows 7 ultimate on the 8 laptops and four desktops i use at home
never updated; never a problem
there's no reason to "update" to Win10 malware except to play gaymes
>>54401830
or develop gaymes.

I've been teaching myself DirectX and making some small stuff. Is it really worth upgrading from 8.1?
Why should we debate? Can't just everyone use what they like? Fucking beta faggot don't like it when some one doesn't agree with them.
REEEEEEEE WHY ARE YOU USING THIS BOTNET SHIT REEEEEEEE!
Just fucking end your life if you're one of those.
>Windows 7
Great OS. Does everything you need it to after a little bit of configuring, and there really aren't any issues as far as I can see. The fact that I couldn't try out Forza 6 is the only reason I've wanted to upgrade
>Windows 10
Great OS as well. Once you install it, there's not too much you need to do to get it do a good, functional state besides install Spybot Antibeacon if you're scared of M$. DX12 is nice. Basically an updated Windows 7 with some spying mixed in.
For some context, I use Windows 10 on my laptop and any machines that I sell since the install takes less work, and I use Windows 7 on my desktop because it was that or 8 at the time I installed it and I chose to go with 7.

DX12 is DX11 with more room for optimization. Basically hot garbage most devs using it won't take advantage of but M$ is going to try to push it to force gaymers to use Windows 10. I want to believe in Vulkan, but it's not happening.
