Gaming worth upgrading to windows 7?

[Gobnoblin]

I'm on vista home premium right now... it runs fine .... I'm finally getting used to it... if I had my way I'd still be running windows 98 second edition..... is there any advantage to upgrading? should i just wait till this current os becomes obsolete and am forced to upgrade? okay talk amongst yourselves... begin!

From what I have read it would appear to have been a sucessful repair. It does what Vista should have done at a lot less resource consumption.

Still has most of the compatability issues with old hardware as Vista but if you are running Vista fine then 7 will be fine.

Faster than Vista and less intrusive.

okay sounds like it may very well be worth the plunge.... and its a free upgrade for me so I guess I'll give it a go before i get too used to vista and have to switch anyways and learn all over lol thanks for the input

windows 7 is teh sex.

 

[Gobnoblin]

well if it involves sex i am definitely upgrading lmao

Windows 7 is worth the upgrade. It has WAY better compatibility than Vista. Now I can sync my phone and ti84 plus to my laptop. I used to always have driver problems on Vista. Plus more frames for games is never bad.

If it's the free upgrade option, definitely do it. You won't regret it.

Yes do it, it is way faster and better imo.

I'm upgrading when i get my 2GB Ram.
I'm hoping its better than Windows XP lol

Would Windows 7 run smoothly on 512MB of RAM, i know the Specs are 512MB but i don't know if it will be okay.

I want to install it now :3

windows 7 is the best windows in terms of speed and reliability, faster than XP and much faster than vista.....

totally worths upgrading, but i think you need 1GB RAM to upgrade

It´s like a nicer looking Win XP for me not bad but not anything special either and i have a pretty old PC still single core Athlon64 3,2Ghz and "only" 1 GB Ram and it runs fine

well then. I'm getting my 2GB sometime next month, so i'll be fine.
Plus Windows 7 is safer than Vista

It was well worth it for me to upgrade as my vista was full of bugs and 7 runs smoothly.

I'm upgrading next week, from Vista 64bit to 7 64bit.
I'm gonna keep all my data and programs, just going to remove the OS and install a new OS. Hope everything goes well

If you have to pay for it, don't get it. If you "somehow" get it for free, then go for it.

The last time I did that my partition table killed itself. It was a pain GetDataBack'ing 200GBs of data

Before doing that, I advise a backup, or at least separate partitions
