Windows 7 support ends in Jan. Probably a good idea to try out Linux or Windows 10 since that’s about all the choices you’ll have in a matter of months.
Why wouldn't Win 7 still be a choice in a matter of months when my Win XP box still runs fantastically? *facepalm*
Because your Windows XP box is the security equivalent of having an unprotected orgy with a leper colony.
Then by your own admission, it is a choice. In your opinion, not a good one, but that irrelevant to my very specific and simple question.
WoW now gets DX12 in Win7 however, with the promise of a few other titles...
So *very limited dx12 support*...
If you're trying to avoid windows 10, AMD hasn't made a windows 8 GPU driver for over 2 years now as far as I know. So we're pretty much getting stuck with moving to 10 soon
With how things are going and the history of Microsoft dealing with Windows 7 after Window 10 was released, I think Microsoft is going to really try and push people out of Windows 7. I'm expecting very aggressive measures put in place from Microsoft to get people off of Windows 7.
ImI very invested in Win7. I've got lots of hardware it fully supports. Many 7 licences that are allready paid for
No games or apps that run any better than 10. And let me ask the Win10 worshippers here, this. What makes you even assima I'm not running Win10 already? I am in fact there's this thing called a dual boot where you can have Win7 and Win10 installed both on the same system at once. I can boot into Win10 anytime I want. I tend not to though. You know why? Because if I do, it's a hellish experience. Windows 10 always hogs my entire connection and that makes it effectively impossible for me to play GTA Online at all on my humble 12k internet connection. Thanks for answering the video card question though. It sounds like I can uogradu ir one more time before moving over to gaming entirely exclusively on my PS-Vita. ^_^
Really your windows 7 box shouldn't be connected to the internet any more. Without solid security updates it won't be long until users like you that insist on running a deprecated OS will be the security hole the rest of us have to fear. I have enough of that I have to deal with during corporate Mergers and buyouts. I really don't need Joe user who loves their windows seven getting on my network and breaking shit.
Sigh... Sorry I'm a bit bitter about that it may have come across stronger than I really wanted.
And your 12k internet connection is SLOWER THAN DIALUP. Geezus man I think I have a 56k modem in a box somewhere I'll send you. It'll quadruple your speed!
Might I suggest taking a look at Jason Evangelho's series of articles on gaming on Linux? e.g. Manjaro 18 Linux Gaming Report: This Is The Distro To BeatI also wanted to shamelessly plug Linux as an option for people who don't want to move to 10. I have had great luck with people moving from XP to Linux since they have looser needs for computing. Something like Ubuntu will more times than not support them with all the software they need and then some. Not to mention that even much older systems run better than they would on 10.

You don't have to worry about sounding bitter.... windows xp users are the computer equivalent of anti vaxers.
I would expect the last round of security updates to feature nag screens.
I would also not be surprised if they announced a 6 month reprieve for consumers... with each extended update including more and more annoying nag screens and warnings. Perhaps even special freebie upgrade offers again.
As far as I know, the free upgrade using a Windows 7 key is still working. I doubt they will change that before they cut off support and add annoyances to windows 7 to move people to 10.
Could you just run a windows 7 VM in Win10?I also wanted to shamelessly plug Linux as an option for people who don't want to move to 10.

Not only can you, but you can download a Windows 7 VM direct from Microsoft for testing purposes (expires after 90 days):

...that deliberately emulates shit hardware?
...or just continue using Windows 7? as it remains the most fastest gaming OS, planet-side, till 2020?
Which, may I remind you, hasn't happened yet?
Just a pro tip there,members..

Source? I haven't found a single article that shows Windows 7 being faster than Windows 10. In anything. I don't even like Windows 10 but know better than to say that 10 is slower than 7.
I'd been running a dual boot with Win7/Win10 for a good long while and had been routinely testing sustained framerates in my usual games with FRAPS. Windows 7 is always faster. It's just fact. I can't re-test now as I've recently upgraded to an NVMe drive as my boot drive and just didn't bother putting Windows shitty 10 back on it!
Latest is not always greatest.
Your word vs dozens of articles from credible sources.
Exactly. People WANT windows 7 to be faster. Sometimes they see things that don't exist.
