    I like Windows 7 for PC gaming however, my computer is okay for gaming since it has an Intel Graphics card instead of the much better GTX 1080. I cri everytime.

    It used to be Vista for me a long time ago but now W7 or W8
     
  8. I use Windows 7, and prefer Windows 7 over any of the new Windows operating system. I never became too fond of the interface changes for Windows 8.

    For me windows 7. I haven't encountered any issues with it unlike windows 10.
     
  15. Still prefer Windows 7. I've installed Windows 10 on one of my spare computers through a fresh installation and there are so many things I absolutely dislike about Windows 10.

    The first issue is bloatware; I really don't care about Cortana, OneDrive, or most of the other things that get packaged with Windows 10. I also don't like that you can't remove Edge browser, at least not by normal means. And I just want a standard desktop interface, not a quasi-mobile interface that borrows ideas like the voice assistant (similar to Apple's Siri) or the start menu (similar to some tablets).

    Second issue is that it's really intrusive to privacy; for instance, when I install Windows 10, it asks me to use an e-mail and then asks me to enter my phone number, and there are other privacy issues outside of just installation as well.

    Third issue is that you're not given options to set things during installation; for instance, you can't give your device a name until after you install Windows first, but that example is least of the problems. I think the worse, when it comes to things you cannot set, would probably be your own user folder. It just takes the first 6 characters of the e-mail address you used to sign in and makes that your user folder, so then when you go to C:\Users\, you just see the first 6 characters of that e-mail address you used. I think it's ridiculous, because then you have to switch to an Administrator account, go into regedit, and change all of that. And the worse part is, if all your important folders (Pictures, Documents, Music, etc.) are all under a OneDrive folder, it's an even bigger mess to fix.

    I'll use Windows 10, when I have to, but I'll stick mainly to using Windows 7 and Linux for most things.
