I still have Windows 7 but I need a new laptop so I would love to hear what people say before I purchase.

I know nothing about 8.1 but I downloaded Windows 10 when it was offered to me and I like it just fine.

Obviously, I am not an expert.:notworthy: Just offering my opinion.

I prefer 8 or 8.1 .....I upgraded to 10 on my laptop and it crashed it and now I cannot get it to restart.
Thankfully my former boss gave me a Dell laptop or Id have nothing to work on. :sad1:

I never had Windows 8.1.I went from Windows 7 to Windows 10.Between those two,I like one about as much as the other.

I had W8, 8.1 and went to W10 almost as soon as it came out.  W 8.1 was an attempt at a multi-platform/single-OS.  But as a desktop user there were a lot of issues with 8.1 that 10 solved.  But then again, I think 10 went back to the older style to placate the masses

Personally I think windows 10 and Windows 8.1 have pros and cons. I personally like Windows 10 because a lot of things have been resolved.

Windows 10 is definately a better system than 8.1....More stable and secure

Windows 8.1, hands down. Windows 10 screwed up the power button on my laptop computer and could've killed that computer.

I do not have any experience with windows 8 as I have windows 7 on both my desk top and laptop and love it.

I downloaded the windows 10 for free on my desktop and hated it.. went back to my windows 7 and am sticking with it

I had Windows 7 and just changed about a week ago to Windows 10.  There doesn't seem to be a big difference, but I can tell you I am not impressed with Microsoft Edge that they want you to use with it so I have already changed back to good ole Chrome!

As long as you have a sticker on your computer that contains the authorization code for Windows, you can reinstall the original Windows and be back in business. Otherwise I would get a free copy of Linux and install that. I particularly like Just Browsing Linux for surfing the Internet with no fear of Malware.

Windows 7,8 and 10 all support touch screens.

I have windows 10 on my laptop I just brought a few weeks ago. I haven't had my own laptop in a few years because I never got around to it, so when I did I have to admit I did get angry when I could figure out how to find everything of course once I did it was easy, so I would have to say windows 8 because that's what I used to honestly.

I too had problems finding stuff, until I figured out the search bar next to the start button could find programs whether they were installed or not. Some Apps (like Sticky Notes) were installed already and I didn't know it.

I am running windows 10 just like any other operating system it has issues. I never had windows 8. I was warned against it. For the most part I like windows 10.

To be honest, I do not note any system differences between the two. Obviously Windows 10 contains more features and a refreshing new look, but otherwise, it operates the same as Windows 7 and 8.
