For non graphical software I'm sure Windows 7 might be able to run 100%. About what percentage that won't run on Windows 7 I don't know the figure as I haven't tried. But namely legacy games will not 100% work on Windows 7. But if you can imagine running Windows 98 games on XP I'm sure there is a huge list that won't work properly as a comparison.
I haven't spent the time running XP software on Windows 7 to give you that list. Not to mention a lot of USB 3.0 driver issues for Windows 10 due to in-box or lack of official Intel ones.Ĭlick to expand.There's probably a huge list for that if you google around. That's just my opinion but unless you got some good reasons to choose 10 over 7 if both had DX12 support I can't see any. And again any infection can be restored back to clean state in seconds.īut if you truly wanted Windows 10 to be accepted they should have just made it free to use and no activation required similar to Mac OS strategy these days with Sierra and so on.īut on a side note if Windows 7 had DX12 support patch update no one would even bother with Windows 10. Windows 2000 seemed to be the last OS that followed this rule.īut as far as any updates I'm not too concerned about those and I'm sure most hackers are going to target Windows 10 and 7 now compared to XP or Vista which only make up about 10% of the share world wide. The earlier Windows OS you could install and no need to activate. I'm not sure why the sudden change from Windows 7 and earlier except to crack down on piracy or something is the only reason I can think of. Also you can no longer activate the W10 copy offline or by phone. By default they should have made it NO no no no no. The main reasons Windows 10 isn't as accepted compared to say Windows 7 is the added spyware and defaulted snoop options during setup. But restoring a 20+GB image vs a 2GB image I'll take the 2GB one. And 0 day ones can get Windows 10 as well so nothing is safe. But then W10 will become obsolete just like every previous OS because of no more support to patch these loopholes. This may be true for novice users or newbies. Don't believe the hype that you must always use the latest Windows OS to feel safe.
A simple OS image restore in 5 seconds and you are back to a clean OS uninfected. Most of the time infection is caused by the user running a file they got tricked into opening. If you install software that intercepts any programs from running you can easily avoid 95% of the crap that tries to infect your OS regardless if it is XP or Windows 10. But if you can image your OS in a clean state restoring XP will only take 5 seconds due to its small size. I wouldn't worry about security which is beyond the scope of the original thread.
