Hello guys ,
I have an recently changed my boot device so I have installed windows again . (Win 10)
Since then I am having a load of problems , most irritating is low memory declaration ( but my ram uses never cross more than 4 gb) and automatic closing of my running apps . Crashing , very slow day to day activities, let alone gaming . So I decided on a clean installation . but since I dont have the state of the art parts (lol) I wonder if windows 7 is more appropriate for me ??
I use my pc mainly to watch movies , online streaming , sometimes a little app developement for android(Still learning) and gaming . Not the latest game titles but as much as my hardware can take . So pls suggest me if windows 7 will be better for me . I dont care for asthetics , just a snappy and quick responsive windows is what I want.
Here is my hardware
Intel i3-2100
Asus H61-k Mobo
Amd radeon HD 6670
Ram evexir 8GB
2*500 GB WD Blue HDD

While I can't say about W10, but I used to have an even older 2007 circa C2D system running just fine on W8.1 except for one thing, a cheap Chinese USB wifi adaptor with equally **** driver that has memory leaks in it which would cause the system to running out of memory (low memory error, app crashing, etc) despite Task Manager still reported that there are still physical memory available.

In my case, when I look at the memory in the Task Manager, among all the stats (In Use, Available, etc), there's a Committed part which was almost maxed out after a certain period because of said memory leaks in the crappy driver. Remove the device and its associated driver solved the issue.

Well I'm running windows 10 on a core 2 duo with 4GB of RAM and it runs very smoothly. Whatever your problems are it's not because of your hardware. Windows 10 is not harder to run than windows 7 so it just becomes a personal choice of which you like better. How full is your hard drive? could the low memory error be because the drive is full so there's no room for a swap file? just a thought.

No none of my drives are more than 70% filled.
