What is better for Gaming and Surfing?
- Is Win 10 compatible to the Games with Win 7?
Generally yes. Windows 10 is just a new iteration of the 6 Kernel (7 = kernel 6.1, 10 is 6,4). If software runs on Windows 7 it should work fine on 10. - Is Win 10 taking more Ram or space or what it is called?
Less in general, but around the same as 8/8.1. Like mentioned elsewhere there does seem to be some memory leaks here and there, but nothing problematic unless you run you pc on for days. - Is the performance of Win 10 better or not?
Just like Windows 8/8.1, 10 uses much less ressources than 7 and is better. Windows 10 also introduces WDDM 2.0 drivers, which uses less CPU power, which directly improves performance in CPU limited games. DX12 is also 10 exclusive, so yeah. - And is the Design or Overlay from Win 10 better then Win 7 ?
Much better in every aspect.
The only issue to mention are smaller bugs here and there, that should get solved within a month or two. You don't have to update right now, so you could wait a month. But there is no reason to stay with 7 (there hasn't been since 8.1).

Thank you :D I dont know what Kernel what WDDM drivers is :D I have a quad core so it is 4 Kernel?
I think my Card dont support Directx 12 :)

Kernel is the core/heart of an Operating System. WDDM is the standard and technology Windows uses to handle drivers for your hardware. I believe Windows 7 has version 1.3 or 1.4. Windows 10 introduced version 2, which is much better, as it uses less resources.
All AMD GCN based cards support DX12, so 7000 series and up. Most Nvidia cards from 600 series and up should support it too, so you should be good to go.

10 is a faster 7, everything else is pretty much the same, all your folders and stuff are in the same places, no need to learn

When i install Win 10 are my Folders and Programms still there are they get deleted?
Comment has been collapsed.
Everything should stay intact. All my installed programs from my Windows 8.1 installation were still there and worked. All my fils in documents and picture folders, etc, were also intact. Of course you should make a backup of those folders first though.

In that case, stop using every single thing Google is making. Or apple for that matter.

THIS. At least you can deactivate all of those settings in Windows 10; can't say the same about Android...
Comment has been collapsed.
you can't deactivate all spyware features. A few of these can only turned off in the enterprise version and are "hidden" in the registry.
Edit: they read you mails and chats view personal data and collect files (you can read this in microsofts data protection regulations) in order to send these to a third party business. Like if they "think" you violated the copyright of somebody they might take a sample and check it. Seriously take a look at it, it's ridiculous.

But i think you can send the datas anonymous to Microsoft

Just got notice the 'commandos' series isn't working because of dx5 support lacking. This probably applies to other games using dx5 as well. Compatibility modes are apparently not helping either, to the point where the publisher is recommending setting up a virtual machine.
Bit of a bummer, but expected as much...
Update: researching this a bit more, there are people claiming they got them to work without any problems... will see what happens.

ah okay thank you :) Why it dont work by you but by other Guys?
Comment has been collapsed.
To clarify, by "just got notice" I mean it was anounced by the dev/pub on steam, which is a good sign on a series of games that old (last one came out 12 years ago. I've seen worse support on games that came out this year.)
Going by reports, it seems that 1, 1.5 and 3 have issues while 2 asks you to install directplay and then works like a charm... which is GOOD because 2 is by far the best in the series, and in "Destination Paris" has a really good mod. In other words, that was the one I was worried about, the other ones not so much.
Currently holding out on upgrading from 8.1 to 10 for a while myself.

Ich kann warten.
Never had any issues with either W7 or W8, and I'm using 4 different OS at my university (computer science) anyways and can't complain. They're all good on their own. I'm probably going to update, once the computers at the university will be, too.

ich habe auch keine probleme mit windows 7 aber wenn windows 10 besser sein wird/ist von der performance wieso sollte ich dann noch bei win 7 bleiben? :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Naja, was heißt "besser/schneller". Mit guter Hardware ist jedes OS schnell. Einziger Grund der mich zum vorzeitigen Wechsel überreden würde ist directx12, und das hat ja momentan noch keine Verwendung (und wahrscheinlich auch nicht bis nächstes Jahr).
Comment has been collapsed.
Naja, schon hauptsächlich für Spiele. Ist im Grunde nur eine Sammlung von Programmierschnittstellen, die es einem erleichtert Grafische Anwendungen zu programmieren.
Also eigentliche jede Multimedia-Anwendung bei denen eine Grafikkarte erforderlich ist. Sind aber für den Normalverbraucher fast nur Spiele, es sei denn du bist professioneller Spieleentwickler.
Ich selbst als Informatik Student brauche es eigentlich nicht, und werde es mir erst installieren, wenn Spiele einen Leistungsschub durch Dx12 versprechen. Also so ab nächstem Jahr vllt. Kannst ja nachschauen, welche Spiele mit Dx12 laufen.

hoffentlich schafft mein Laptop die Spiele :D Die Spieleentwickler könnten doch aber auch ein Update für die alten Spiele bringen wie z.b. CSGO
Comment has been collapsed.
Dein Laptop hat keine Dx12 Graka. Und CSGO läuft noch unter Dx9.
Laptop Grakas sind ziemlich schwach, von daher bezweifle ich, dass du Spiele von 2016 damit spielen kannst. Es sei denn du hast einen 2000€ Laptop (was meiner Meinung nach eh Blödsinn ist).

aber die könnten ja ein upgrade bringen und dann läuft es auch mit Dx12 :)
Ja hab eine schlechte Grafikkarte leider. Die Unterstützt 11 aber 12 weiß ich nicht :D

will be avaible for Win 7 also.. dont worry.. ahaha

No, MS confirmed numerous times that DX12 is Win10 only. Just like how DX10 wasn't available for XP, only VIsta and up.

An unofficial way to make a program work on a kernel it doesn't support?
Yes, it is called using VMs.
Comment has been collapsed.
No lol :D
not so complicated.. is clear like sun that is not possible by appling patches.. i mean some custom os version. like an android phone, a firmware without stupid undeletabled app.. same for this, a os, without win app store and/or force login with your @hotmal/outlook. ;)
btw, playing games on a vm? this come from a book "how to burn your hardware in 1001 ways"? :D

DX12 utilizes WDDM 2, so you would have to change the entire driver framework of Windows 7 to support DX12, including the drivers themselves. Good luck. There is nothing Windows 7 does better than Windows 10. On the contrary.
Comment has been collapsed.
You Win Anyways!
More : Win X has DirectX 12 in it so if you're gonna play a game which uses DirectX12 it will perform 20-30% better.
That's what I heard...
I have Win X now, I'm not an overclockwerk so I'm OK with it xP

Anyone enjoying windows 10, remember to also enjoy losing your privacy as Microsoft is making money on it.
Here is some tips how to work around it, but it doesn't solve all the problems and requires a lot of work.
Anything that is free never truly is free. There is always a bad side on it and it isn't fully realized even after a year.
Comment has been collapsed.
Not in same way. In windows 10 they are doing it openly and not putting any effort on saving your privacy. Atleast in windows 7 it is still against the rules, even if they don't do greatly to protect you.

What is private nowadays?
Google, Android, TV???
Come on, if u dont want to be snooped dig a hole 200m deep and stay there
Comment has been collapsed.
Many things are private by law alone. However murrica doesn't respect the laws of others and therefore companies get away with many things as murrica is pro-corporatism only.
Just cause they get away with it, doesn't mean we should let them do it freely. Then they will start to exploit us more in some other fields when this becomes a standard.
In all honesty, anyone who should jump on that hole is people who don't care about rights of others.

I'm on Windows 10, and I'm liking what I'm seeing thus far.
If you do choose to upgrade, MAKE SURE YOU GRAPHICS CARD DRIVERS ARE UP TO DATE.
Can't stress that enough.

Well, you can play your windows store, phone games on you pc on the win 10. which is a nice way to get achievments =))

Win 7 until
someone finds how to disable the hidden Key-loggers, the obvious one is just a distraction.
That and the possibility bugs me, that each Update might opt you in Key-logging once again - lol.
^ Or when DX12 gets useful - since currently there is no point upgrading solely for it, nor anything else.

There is about the same amount of reasons to get Windows 8.0 as getting Vista or Windows ME.
As in exactly zero.

I had problems with the update on my notebook, now my dedicated graphic card doesn't work anymore. And I can't use the HP drivers because the author is blocked.

Integrated indicates Intel HD graphics. Download the drivers from Intel. They are better than any laptop manufacturer one and will work the same.
Comment has been collapsed.
Intel HD integrated card is not a problem, it works. The problem is the hd 6770m, can't download the HP drivers, and if I download the last drivers created for windows 10 and also compatible with my card, it doesn't work either.

AMD factory drivers? Don't hey have a line for the mobile chips on their site?
Comment has been collapsed.
They have, I downloaded the drivers for windows 10 (hd 6000m series are ok, at least they say that) but it still doesn't work and if it works it's really worse than windows 7
Comment has been collapsed.
Do HP-related forums on HW say similar things? And did you try to do a clean install of Win10 and try then?
AMD factory drivers should work fine, this is why it's a bit surprising, to be honest. Unlike nVidia users, AMD users reported all new drivers working just fine.

I also did a clean install downloading the iso from Microsoft's site and installing from USB. Yeah, I don't know why, will try again :/

Also I see other peopla had the same problem. I had win7, do you think I can downgrade using the same activation key I have now? I mean, now it is supposed to be a win10 key because I made the upgrade. But is it also a win7 key so I can come back to it?

I stuck with Windows XP until it was on the verge of being discontinued... I think I'll stick with W7 for at least another year. It's not as if I am having any issues with it.

Windows XP :-)
Just kidding.
Win 7 because as for now win 10 (with all it's cool design and stuff) is a bit laggy.
Comment has been collapsed.
The 99% of the people who said Win7 is best, don't have tried Win10.
3 days ago I have done a clean install of Win10, and all its working perfect, and my computer is a piece of crap...

W10 is working without a problem for me but this depends on your hardware if it's compatible with W10. Dirty Bomb for example has a lot of complaints of people that can't start the game in Windows 10, but I can run it without a problem. I haven't had any issues of any kind & Windows 10 runs amazing. Much faster then the previous versions, the only downside is getting used to the new interface but I got used to it pretty quick.
For the terrorists worried about their privacy, go off the internet. If they want to invade your privacy, they can do it regardless of your os.

i think my hardware ist compatible with windows 10 :) But i will wait 1 Year i think for updates :) i saw in a video that you can disable things like keylogger but only in the enterprise version
