Win 7 Or win 10?
Gaming and MOST importantly, low annoyance and hassle level...
advice or comments?
DX12 is a bust and won't be relevant for years.
You remind me of a die hard that has a death grip on his Windows XP machine. Get with the times and let it go man.Windows 7, absolutely no question.
Unless you have desperate need for a Windows 10 feature, stick with 7.
You can control what happens on Win 7. With Windows 10, Microsoft owns you and your PC.
It even looks horrible.
I cannot stand Windows 10.
I've tried it many times and it is a royal pita. Everyone I know says the same.
The one friend who converted to Windows 10 doesnt say much now, he's not so happy.

And you must not know anyone from this thread. Because you are the one dissenter so far. And for [H] to have a thread with this many replies and only one person complaining... that says something.
Windows 7 , for me as a gamer... , Dx 12 minor impact so far on games.
I have a copy of win 10, but it takes so much maintenance to keep the way I
like, it's not worth my time . Maybe I'll switch in a year or so to win 10..
For gaming windows 10
If you are just using windows as a lunch platform for you browser or game there is not much difference.
But if you use windows for a lot file level work. windows 10 is a true hassle and you should go win7. Still many issues with paths in Windows 10. but you want notice that if you are a regular windows user.
OK... ?I do a ton of different things on different devices on 10. Visual Studio, MS Office, Acrobat, Eclipse, latest games, no different overall than 7 when using applications.

Yeah. The straw that broke the camel's back for me with Windows 10 was when I wanted to delete a directory (deleting a mod for ARK). I didn't have permission. As administrator I didn't have permission. I looked at permissions, and it looked like I had permission, but it wouldn't let me delete. I've never run into anything like that with Win7.

When installed properly and setup, Windows 10 is excellent. But I won't lie, it takes work to make it usable.
try deleting/editing a file inside the c:\program folder\I've had that exact same issue with Win7, but never Win10.
You can feel free to give out all kinds of personal information for free. I personally disable all telemetry and metrics software that I can. By default as anyone who had installed windows 10 will know, M$ just let's itself right into the front door of your house.What "work", out of curiosity? I've installed a bunch of Windows 10 loads and it doesn't take any more work than Windows 7 as far as I'm concerned. Takes less time in fact because Windows 7 updates take a goddamn eternity these days.
EDIT: On the thread question, I would say Windows 10. If/when DX12 ever comes into its own, you're going to want 10.

But hey if it's easy and simple, no need to check and see what it's doing.
Kind of depends on your definition of "usable", then. No one I know personally cares much about telemetry, so for them it's a non-issue. Websites and social media are constantly gathering info on everyone anyway, so unless you want to go "off the grid" and live in a Faraday cage, I don't think there's much hope of getting rid of all of it. *shrug*
Not saying your opinion is invalid, but this issue doesn't make Windows 10 unusable for a large percentage of people.
