Windows 7 here. Want to update to 8.1 but have a few concerns; like the ugly UI and the Metro shits; how do I fix these? I want to have total control over customization. Is there a fix to remove completely all the new useless stuff?
I heard 8.1 is faster on older machines, is this true?
And in general, 8.1 > 7 ?
Keep in mind I'm a real nostalgic and love the way Win7 looks

Don't bother, there's no point.

>using Windows
Kill yourself
Imho win 8.1 is better than 7. Has some nice performance upgrades especially on ssds.
You can also just skip it and update to Windows 10 while it's free.

>Windows 7 here. Want to update to 8.1

>>54426754
Why would you pay for 8 when 10 is free?

Just don't senpai, Windows 8.1+ it's endless suffering that patches can't fix.
Seems like keeping 7 is the best choice. I'll go with that. Thanks.
Install classic shell to get the windows 7 start menu back, then you can completely ignore the metro part

Move out of your mom's basement and get a life, you fucking loser.
>And in general, 8.1 > 7 ?
No, 8[.1] is just plain shit compared to any other version of windows.
If you really want to upgrade from 7 then skip to Windows 10.
Be sure to ignore the butthurt shitposting retards that sperg out over the above recommendation.
