Windows 7.

>why?
They don't make them like they used to anymore
>>
>>26170062
Windows 10. It's exactly like windows 7 but looks better. There are some "windows is a service" bullshit things like not being able to play DVD movies anymore without paying for windows dvd player, but other than that it's great.

>>26170101
B-b-b-b-but muh old and deprecated software!

>Windows is a service

SOOOOOO that's why they where so persistent

Windows 7 for the same reason you aren't asking if anyone prefers 8.

10 is just diluted 7.
>>
>>26170125

It's true though, quality always decreases when companies overgrow and become successful.

Moreso with cars and electronics.
>>
What exactly do you wanna do with your device?
>>
>>26170263
Post dank memes, install illegal software, watch animu, and torrent shit like the exorbitantly priced textbooks I need for college.
>>
>>26170120
>but looks better.

How exactly does it look better? The whole windows app Start Menu thing is like throwing your shoes, clothes, books, etc. on the floor and call it "organized." It's a mess, visually.

7 looks professional. 10 looks like colorful kiddie shit.

>playing DVDs in the current year

Wh-why? Is what you're playing truly that obscure and unavailable online? There's software that can be acquired to work around this anyway.

10's only downside compared to 7, and this goes for 8 as well, is forced DWM/Aero which is cancer to running certain older apps.

Windows 7 to play early 2000s games out of nostalgia TWO BEE ONICE family
>>
>>26170279

Might as well get 10 then.

Since you install pirated shit, security is important, and 10 has more security precautions in place than 7 does.

>>26170062
Windows 7, nearly everything has been developed for it.

I'm staying at Windows 7 Pro. (Came with the laptop I got)

I will probably nab the free upgrade and keep it on a USB drive incase I ever want to switch.

I don't think Windows 10 will support my outdated Alienware software though... I'd probably lose my theme, maybe even control over the laptop's lighting.
>>
>>26170346
I'm the samefag who posted about DWM/Aero but there's at least VMware to work around games that don't rely too much on hardware accelerated grayfix
>>
>>26170062
Windows 7.
Windows 10 somehow manages to be casualized and more difficult to use at the same time.
>>
>>26170172
Sadly though they are in a huge rush to discontinue security updates for 7-8. They want to wall everyone into 10. Some day DX12 will be more than a meme API and games will need it.

10 is happening. Just let it in.
>>
>>26170558
They are supporting security til 2020 I thought?

-The anon that is going to put Win10 on a usb just incase.
>>
>>26170062
Windows 8.1
>>
>>26170313
Just disable all the garbage, retard. At that point it's a sleeker windows 7.
>>
>>26170341
I never said I ever had to use it. I torrent all my shit, but if you for sone reason had to use a DVD that might be a concern.

Ultima online

I'm sticking with 7 til Microsoft pulls their heads out of their asses and realizes that people just want a fucking computer and not some bullshit "stylish" million boxes crap.

10.

Sooner or later, games will require DirectX 12. If I can't play games, what's the point of running Windows?

I need to sudoku.
