[Dvessella1983]

Which do you think is better as an operating system - Windows 10 or Windows 8.1?

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. 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.

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.

windows 8

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

[hawkeye3210]

Not a fan of either.

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 10 for the touch screen support and other advances features.
