It's simply the case of justifying the price of the license. The performance improvement isn't massive. In terms of game settings it wont really be any different. And no there will be no issue with your memory. The boot time will be alot better since you also have an SSD. Personally though, I'd stick with 7.

I think it will absolutely provide better performance. ESP with the way that Win10 pre-caches things and also the state of drivers seems to me *opinion* better than it is with 7. I would say the deciding factor is your storage.... Are you using SSD or no... If not ... maybe stay with 7.

Windows 10 does have some improvements for gaming like the so called, "Game Mode" but from what I've heard it only gives you a small boost in FPS. Windows 10 also is better if you are going to be playing the latest games due to Direct X 12 being exclusive to the operating system making your system more future proof. For your case however, I'd suggest staying with Windows 7 as you really won't notice any real performance increase.

So if i want the extra performance and the beautiful design of windows10 will it be worth upgrading to, and yes i use ssd. Will there be a loss of performance on anything or only gain fps performance. And will there be any problem with 8gb 2x4 dual channel memory? Will i run low and lag or will it be the same as the windows 7
I hope you understand:)
