Hi,

I'm a student so I can get windows 8/8.1 and Windows 7 Professional/N

Is it better for me to go for Windows 7 or 8 for gaming?

And what is the difference between windows 7 professional and windows 7 professional n?

Thanks

8 or 8.1? and can I ask why you'd choose win 8 over win 7?

I've been using it since the Preview days, and I like it. Especially on a dual monitor system. The only time I see the Metro interface is when I invoke it, or reboot. Metro opens on one monitor, regular desktop opens on the other. One click on the desktop, and Metro disappears.

And with 8.1, you can default the boot selection to Desktop only.

Add to that the other enhancements with 8, and it is the same as, or better, than 7. Contrary to all the internet bitching. Every new OS that Microsoft puts out, there is much screeching on the internet about how bad it sucks. Every time.
