Windows 7 Pro or Windows 8.1 Pro?

Closed

So... I ordered my first gaming PC and I don't know which OS it's "better". On my laptop I have Windows 7 Home Premum and I love it, but it seems that windows 8.1 is good for gaming and can give you better performances with some games. On the other hand, I also know that some games have problems with windows 8.1 and not with Seven.

What should I do? I would only play, surf the internet, use my e-mail, watch films on it.

I honestly really hate Windows 8.1, the interface is clunky and I honestly just really don't like it; but I do have to admit that in the end; Windows 8 is better for gaming, Microsoft decided to keep the newest DirectX out of Windows 7, and only Windows 8.

Gaming- Windows 8

School, etc- Windows 7

Isn't the "getting windows 10 for free when having 8.1" news just rumors still? I can't find anything that Microsoft has confirmed about that.
