Insert windows 7 is the best blah blah

HI ROWLEY, How are you?!

Clean install all the way

So should I stick to my Windows 7?
Also I don't know what a clean install means, I just know my computer has been offering me Windows 10 since last summer.

I think his comment was a mocking comment to everyone who is like "OMG WIN7 BEST OS EVAR"

And I always prefer doing a clean install, however if you don't have a way to back up your files, etc, then an upgrade is the only way to go for you :| - That and a clean install is a bit more effort than the upgrade assistant.

It's up to you, really.

I uninstalled a tonne of windows updates on my window 7 computer. Got sick of the popups and a heap of telemetry stuff that was trying to re-enable the popup after I uninstalled them. All while automatic updates was set to manual.

This is my gaming computer and updating to windows 10 will screw compatibility for a heap of stuff. When I do eventually go to windows 10 it will be a new computer.

Iirc, the search function in Windows 7 was god awful, in 8 it was good and in 10 it's brilliant... That's probably my most used feature of Win10 that wasn't in previous versions.

I've never used the Search function.
I keep all the files I need, most of which are just my poems and stories and such, in an order just like I keep everything IRL. And I'm the kind of person that goes in full panic mode when any object gets moved to another place or if something's not exactly where it belongs.

Mainly steam games. Got some that wont launch on windows 10 apparently.

There mostly small indy games but the steam version of dragonage origins apparently has alot of trouble.

I dont know if its a problem with windows 10 or a problem with steam but this computer is getting old anyway and I need to get one with better graphics down the line anyway.

This is an i7 2600 with a radoen HD6570. Powersource is only 300w :/ and a larger GPU and powersource wont both fit in the tower lol.
