OnlyforDCS Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Anyone have any experience with a similar hardware configuration and going from Windows7 to Win10? I've been waiting for a while now for the OS to mature and I guess its probably safe to say it's growing pains are kind of over, would it be a worthwhile time to upgrade or should I just stick with Windows 7 until I get a new PC? My full specs are in the signature. Current specs: Windows 10 Home 64bit, i5-9600K @ 3.7 Ghz, 32GB DDR4 RAM, 1TB Samsung EVO 860 M.2 SSD, GAINWARD RTX2060 6GB, Oculus Rift S, MS FFB2 Sidewinder + Warthog Throttle Quadrant, Saitek Pro rudder pedals.

If you want to keep it legit, consider that Windows 10 is about $150-$180 or so, and you'd get much more out of putting that money toward a good video card than another version of Windows. Games perform pretty much identically in Win10 as they do in Win7. I haven't noticed anything running much better in Win10. If you already own Win7 and are using a GTX 970, I'd stick with Win7--there are much better things to blow your money on :) AD Kit: B550 Aorus Elite AX V2, Ryzen 7 5800X w/ Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE, 2 x 16GB Kingston Fury DDR4 @3600MHz C16, Gigabyte RTX 3070 Windforce 8GB, EVGA SuperNova 750 G2 PSU, HP Omen 32" 2560x1440, Thrustmaster Cougar HOTAS fitted with Leo Bodnar's BU0836A controller. --Flying is the art of throwing yourself at the ground, and having all the rules and regulations get in the way!
