    Well, for one, DirectX 12 comes to mind. I don't think Windows 7 has 12. And that's where they getcha.
    The real question is why would one want DirectX 12 and what will you miss if you don't have it. Apart from some driver proprietary feature there is little that Windows 10 provides that Windows 7 doesn't (they're basically the same kernel with minor upgrades and a tablet user interface).

    Unless a program specifically targets DirectX 12 (and some could be very well by artificial limitations), there is little to gain from that.

    DX12 for gaming is probably a hell of a lot better than DX11 in Win 7. But that's if you're a hard core gamer. If so, you may want the extra fluff DX12 provides.

    Some older games are depreciated in Windows 10, so Windows 7 will be better choice for those older games.
    I've been surprised....I still play a 2005 published regularly in W10 using compatibility mode.

    W10 FTW!!!

I installed Windows 10 on my travel touchscreen laptop because it has Windows 8.1. It works OK but my desktop will stay Windows 7 as long as I can. I feel Win7 is very stable and for most regular users it works well. How about you? Will you stay with Win7 and not upgrade?
Win7 to Win10 Possibilities?
in General Discussion

Anyone exploring the possibilities of moving from Win7 to Win10 upon release. Anyone with experience with Win10 can share insights for Win7 users - probably done before, but haven't seen much lately (mainly just Win8 to Win10). Thanks gumboman
