[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1195131, member: 109222"] Hi. 8.1 is much more crap than 10. 8.1 is the very last OS I would ever use. Then I definitely will prefer Linux over Win 8.1 This is something that depends on the Windows 10 version a lot and, by the way, it is something MS has "stolen" from Apple. At least with the Pro version (my Win 10 Pro x64 licences were about 5,50€ each, but this was before the free upgrade offer ends) you can gain most if not all of the control back. As opposite to any previous Windows versions Win 10 Pro version has very much advantages over the "Home" version and is far the best choice, even for average home users. I've started to test Win 10 with some of the many Win 8 Home licences I've laying around here from the days everyone wants to downgrade their pre- installed with Win 8 computer to Win 7... I kept the licences as some sort of "payment" as I thought, some day you probably can use them.. But very soon I realized I would not get happy with Win 10 Home ever. So I decided to buy some cheap Win 7 Professional licences short before the free upgrade period ends. This was the right decision as for 5,50€ I will never get a valid Win 10 Pro licence any more... My old Win 7 Ultimate licences I can't use for upgrading as they were volume licences from a company I worked for in past. But as I don't work there any more I need to have new licences nevertheless... As usual on any Android or iOS device most of the "bloatware" can not be uninstalled, but most can be disabled at least. Overall Win 10 did not need that much disk space as Win 7 needs, even with all those bloatware included... Why? I have played 3D movies a lot (not at home, I don't have a 3D TV but at others places) on Win 7. Always working without issues. Win 7 was, is and most likely will be the best OS Microsoft ever made. But it has it's limitations too. Last week I've done a clean install of Win 7 Home Premium x64 on my sisters Laptop. The installation lasts about 45 minutes plus an additional 20 minutes for driver installation.
