Next generation CPUs will require Windows 10.[1] I'm alright with this. Unpopular opinion? Maybe. But Windows 10 has been great for me.
My FPS in most games has actually skyrocketed after installing
Windows 10. Overall they load faster and run more smoothly. Windows 10
system files use less space than Windows 7 and 8, which means that you
can have more programs.[2] On average it also handles RAM better and uses less RAM, which speeds the
computer up.[2]
As both a gamer and a computer information systems
major who digs deep into the world of performance and security, Windows
10 is the superior OS for me and does the things I need it to better
than 7 and 8.
I realize that while the hard drive space, RAM usage, and boot time improvements are on average objectively better, my preference for Windows 10 is subjective. But I am content with the Windows 10 requirement, since the previously mentioned improvements also improve gaming.
