I am running windows 7 on my gaming PC, I tried win 8.1 last year but it was a disaster. I play COD2, Ace Mod and WAW. Your feedback is appreciated!

See what I did there? 8.1 absolutely rocked! Very stable with games. Never a problem. 10? Well, it's coming out of the gate very strong, but like most versions of Windows, it needs a few updates to smooth out the wrinkles. We've had several of those updates now and things are running pretty smooth. Same great stability in games. I don't disagree that a clean install is a great idea, but it's often impractical, impossible (as in doing the free upgrade to 10 from 7 or 8.x), or just a complete pain in the ass to do given that you have to reinstall everything else you have. And one thing has been said is that in-place upgrades have gotten steadily and significantly better over time to the point where a "clean" install isn't necessarily the only way to go. I'm on a box upgraded from 8.1 right now and all is well. Stuff like File History make it awesome (debuted in 8.x) and forced Windows updates make it not so awesome. Try dealing with that crap on a PC that must remain up 24/7 like my Internet radio station's computer. Having Windows decide it wants to schedule a reboot at 2:30am is just plain crap. But, yes, you can defer the forced reboot, and for most people it's not a big deal. Finally the Win 10 Start menu is just plain awesome. I laugh at Start menu replacements for 10. I consider them a completely wasted effort on the part of the developer. @@Joe Canadian - Since you have a clean install of 7, you are actually in a very good position to in-place upgrade to 10 for free. Others may flame at me for saying any of this, but the bottom line is that the features and stability of 10 are superior to 7 or 8.x. More so from 7 to 10, but from 8.1 to 10 was a great move, too.

Even the XI site can be a pain in the ass with older versions of Windows. This is quite the conundrum. You don't want Windows 10, yet even this site is a PITA with what you have. So let's start with the obvious question - what is it about Windows 10 that makes you not want it? And one more question, if I may, since I don't quite see how the version of Windows relates to this site being a PITA, what is it about this site that's a pain in the ass on your current versions of Windows?

The one day for absolutely no reason the computer just froze and would not restart, Not sure if it was connected to Windows 10, I have my suspicions Had to completely for format both my SSD (used for windows) and my second drive (used for all my games) Now back on Windows 7, its stable and running well. I am not re installing 10 no way no how !! Lesson to be learnt.........
