So I have had Windows 7 on all my old laptops but i'm getting a new gaming laptop soon which has Windows 8.1 and I have heard that Windows 8.1 really sucks (it also looks complicated) so I plan on buying Windows 7 for it, but is Windows 8.1 faster/better in anyway then Windows 7..?
Windows 8 is much better than Windows 7 in most aspects. Most complaints about Windows 8 are centered around the new start menu interface. It's not nearly as bad as detractors make it out to be, and with the Windows 8.1 Update 1 it's easier than ever to get used to.
Windows 8/8.1 has a smaller memory footprint, is more responsive, has better native driver support, has better GPU driver support, and if run on a new computer with an up to date UEFI firmware will also boot lightning fast.
