After 3 years of Windows 10, who still prefers Windows 7? Why?

I personally still prefer Windows 7's design, it's in my opinion the best design on an OS ever. Windows 10 surely is a lot more practical and easier to use, but I think it is yet to beat Windows 7's beautiful UI.

What about you?

Used to dread the day I would have to eventually upgrade to Windows 10, but now I've got it I have no hesitation in saying I prefer it to Windows 7, especially since the updates which got rid of those horrible big tiles all across the desktop. So now it looks not that much different to Windows 7, is much more intuitive for navigation than the original Windows 10, and has some great new features. So no, I don't prefer Windows 7.

That's the same impression I get everytime I fire up Windows 7, it seems to run games quite faster than Windows 10 for some reason.

Please list the architecture differences between Win 7 Ultimate and Win 7 Home, that makes Ultimate "better" for gaming.

Me, I prefer Win 10.

If you are talking about home premium and ultimate(64 bit):
home: MAX 16gb ram, No Bitlocker ultimate: MAX 192gb, Bitlocker to encrypt the whole drive(GAMES)

IDK Anything else

"Great for gaming..."

Gaming (rarely) requires more than 16GB RAM nor BitLocker.

Yes, I understand the functional differences.
But the original comment specifically called out Ultimate as great for gaming.
I just asked what the specific architecture differences were that made it "great"....better than Home.
And yes, Home Premium, not Home Basic.

More RAM and BitLocker doesn't.

ok yes, that's my mistake, i just mentioned ULTIMATE because i have that version
BTW I have operated home basic, home premium and ultimate and i have tried win 10 pro, its good enough but not much for gaming
