Matsuda Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Here is the contrary, Windows 8.1 uses less resources and is lighter than Windows 7. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlimRock Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 IMHO just stick to windows 8.1, If you are really concerned about system performance then go for the Windows 7 x32 Pro/Home Premium Edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyon275 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Windows 7 Ultimate x64 is my suggestion ;):cheers: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonar Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) stay on windows 8.1Wait for a "lite" version of windows 8+ (they are in the making)of course the stable os at the moment would be windows 7 x64 (lite version)Acer travelmate 5320 here using windows 8. I did have win 7 but for me win 8 is running a lot faster and im on 2 gig ram. Edited November 24, 2013 by Sonar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacius Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Use whichever OS you like more. Objectively speaking though, Windows 8.1 is lighter on resources. On low RAM machines, it uses about half the RAM as Windows 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nautilus Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Other users don't use your PC.but some been threw my situation , in fact all :)Look, you're clever enough to know that every PC is different. Win 8.1 is faster and lighter on my PC than Win 7.Most of Win 8 and 8.1 users are reporting the same thing. If Win 8 is not light and fast enough for you as Win 7 (you said that) all you have to do is to go back to Win 7. End of story.If you want to do that, do it.We (other users) can only talk and write about our experiences.We don't own your PC.Or maybe , something else is wrong with your PC.
