Hey Guys,
in January 2020 the support for Windows 7 ends, which OS do you prefer to work with?
I love Win7, Win10 is ****, but now I don´t know which one I could use after 2020…
I have never used linux, because of all my games were not working on it at last try, but how´s that about UE4 and other programs like blender?
Thanks for your time^^
I use Windows 10 just fine
What are your problems with Windows 10?
I have tested it a few years ago on a new computer and steam was not able to get an internet connection^^
After installing Win7, steam had a connection…
There’s nothing in Windows 10 that would prevent Steam from working, did you get your drivers installed?
Yes I did, but I´ve never tested it for about 4 years^^
The worst issue I had with Windows 10 was trying to burn the backup ISO to a DVD after the free upgrade offers years ago… but I got it done and I’ve never really had any critical problems with Windows 10.
You’ve only got two options after support for Windows 7 ends - Windows 10, or switch to a Mac (don’t do that). Linux, while fantastic, is a pain to use if you’re not willing to invest the time into general maintenance and setting things up correctly - yes, Ubuntu and Linux Mint make installing easy, but you really have to tweak some things around to get the best out of it.
Seeing as you had issues with Steam not connecting in Windows 10, I’d advise against Linux.
Also, perhaps Steam was down during that time four years ago, and if you had simply waited, you wouldn’t have such an aversion to Windows 10.
I strongly suggest moving to Win10! I used it since its release and its great so far. If you are concerned about the whole privacy and auto-update stuff, get the pro version and block everything/set to manual. Many people indeed have update problems so with the delayed updates of the pro version, you can simply wait and drink tea while the poor home-version lads get burned by MS 
Anyways, use Win10 and apply big updates such as the October/April update manually after some waiting time.
Thank you all
That´s what I do with win7^^
By default, Windows 10 will automatically download and install updates, if you’re on Wi-Fi you can enable a metered connection and it will not download (you must do this for each Wi-Fi network you connect to). It’s also possible to enable metered connection for a wired network but you need to adjust some settings in the registry to enable that.
I highly recommend doing that, otherwise you can end up in situations where you turn on the computer and can’t do anything for a bit while it installs an update, or you might be in the middle of something and it installs and update which might make some things stop working until you restart. Also, in general I like to control when it’s downloading and installing updates.
tbh with my 4year old SSD it takes about 10sec for an update to install on boot. Exceptions are only the big ones every 6 months.
It depends on the update and your system, I’ve had updates take longer and do a restart before loading into Windows, it’s not a trivial matter especially if you’re getting ready to do something and have to wait for it to finish.
It’s even worse though when it’s installed updates without you knowing and stuff stops working, it’s not abnormal for things like Windows settings to not show up or for the internet to stop working until you restart.
Are you sure, Win10 is not only early access?
