It's up to you, but when I bought a Windows 10 laptop after my windows 7 bit the dust (it still worked, but the keys kept snapping off T_T)
I was unable to play Skyrim, and still am. I kept getting an error about the path not available, even after re-installing the game and doing a search on the error. And Warcraft always seems to be laggier and a lower fps than when I played it on my Windows 7 computer. I'm thinking of just re-installing 7, because I like the look and navigation of it a lot better, and personally for me, my games were slower. Of course you can do the trial and see what you think! :)

I'm not sure if that's necessarily the fault of Windows 10. Could the newer laptop simply have slower hardware? Considering it's a completely different laptop. The fair comparison would be to install 10 on the old laptop and see if that makes it any faster (or slower).You

As for the Skyrim error, can't say I've had any errors with that.. PM me, I might be able to help with that, I think it could be a Steam-related error.

Thanks for the offer :) But I just like how Windows 7 looks more anyway, plus Corel Draw (2002) Still works on it :P

You should never. Ever. Go with Windows. Windows anything. Microsoft anything. O.o

Thanks for that very thorough and unbiased reasoning and explanation, filled with valid arguments! ;)
Also thanks for opening my eyes and for suggesting what I should use instead!

Sorry, but I just find it a bit hard to take you all too seriously since didn't really at all explain why you think so, nor did you suggest any real alternative.

No need to apologize. I was just joking around. -^.^- I'm not the one to ask about Windows stuff, but I do like to make comments that I know nothing about and make it painfully obvious that I don't. It's a different kind of humor, but I roll with it. :)

Your Avi to die for, by the way. Good luck figuring out what OS to go with! I'm sure these wonderful people will be a lot of help to you. :D And it's good advice to not take me too seriously ever. O.o That's probably the last thing I am. My friend goes with Linux because he can customize it a lot? Maybe something to look into for the more technology savvy.
