Status: offline 		Win 10 64 bit on my laptop and gaming machine. Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit on my two old desktops.

I hate Win 10. The latest forced update means you can longer change text size in menus, title bars and icons. My laptop has a 15.6 inch screen but the native resolution is 1920x1080. Now the text is too small for my eyes.

With Win 10 I feel as if the computer belongs more to Microsoft than it does to me. I'm seriously considering buying a copy of Win 7 and installing it on my laptop.

yes the latest and so far the best version, can't wait i must admit to see what they're doing next

i loved xp.

i thought win 7 was great and a worthy upgrade and stable gaming platform...

but 8.1 was better,

but all hail the new king, windows 10 is for me, the best of the lot so far, and i'm older enough to have used them all now, as DOS rocked in it's day also, but times move on, hardware and software wise

There are several reasons why I resisted Microsoft's attempts to force Win 10 onto my system, but the principal one is that for me, the operating system should be the most stable software package on my PC and I don't want one that changes twice a year, especially without my say so. I am happy with what I have.

Picked pro so that I have more control, and I picked win 10 because I built a new machine about 1.5 years ago, and I always install the latest windows version.

I have mixed feelings about win 10. Sometimes it's good, other times, not so good.

Status: offline 		I've got about five computers in total between work and home; four of the five on Win10 64, one desktop on Win7. Win10 is much better IMHO, I think you'd have to be kind of nutty to go out of your way to get a Win7 machine.

Status: offline 		I have 4 laptops (my wife says I cannot bear to part with any lol) and a desktop - all running Windows 10 Home edition. I have had it since Win 10 came out and have not had many issues running Matrix (or other) games that are not too old. I would recommend Win10 since Windows 7 is end of life for support and updates.

For my development work and general computing, I use Windows 10, Windows 7, SUSE Linux, and Ubuntu Linux on a daily basis. (On Windows, I am a heavy Cygwin user.) For actual game play, it's typically Windows 7 or Ubuntu Linux (running the games on Linux Wine).
