Will my computer run slower with Windows 10 than with Windows 7?
Each new Windows version tends to be more demanding in terms of hardware resources, so your question can be answered both yes and no.For you to assess this, minimum requirements aren't a good starting point. In fact, if you meet them, it simply means that you can run that specific Windows version, it does not mean it will run great.A better benchmark is Windows Experience Index, because it's based on both hardware and software components.If your computer, after the upgrade, scores the same Windows Experience Index as before, it should be able to perform at the same level.If Windows 10, on the other hand, introduces optimization and fixes bugs, that could have a positive impact on performance.Check here: Windows Experience Index - Does Windows play bingo?What they won’t tell you about Windows 10 - Myths to debunk and hot air.

Why is my 10-year-old Windows 7 computer so slow? I did everything online to speed it up, but I can't even run Roblox without lag. Will deleting some applications decrease my lag?
The most likely cause is too many applications and other processes running. If you are not careful they can accumulate over the years. If a very careful audit (with tools like autoruns and process explorer) doesn't help, a fresh install should.There's a very slim chance that the processor is overheating and throttling back. Check the CPU temperature. Remove dust from inside the case and make sure all fans are still running.Severe fragmentation can be a problem, too, especially if the disk is nearly full. Run the defragmenter to check.A failing disk can slow things down if it frequently retries I/O. Check the SMART stats with smartctl.

Here are the specs: RAM:4 GB Processor: Intel i3-3120M CPU@2.50 GHz 64-bit OS Intel HD 4000 Graphics and Nvidia Geforce 710M on processor - 2 GB DirectX version: 11 I mostly use my PC for gaming.

Which is better for gaming: Windows 7 or Windows 8?
I don't know what the hell are other trying to say ! I mean there is not a single answer about graphic performance here, come on guys don't you think that graphics are more important than RAM, however RAM is also an essential hardware to run games, but you can't play far cry 4 or GTA V on a computer without graphic card even if the system is holding 8 GB of RAM.And yes DirectX still make a difference as all the graphic processing is handled by it. But it is not the actual factor to run games.Version of window doesn't make that much difference if your PC has enough Graphic power, even a high end game doesn't chew up more than 4 GB of RAM. you can use window 8 as it has the latest version of DirectX, buy a good Graphic card, any from Nvidia Titan or Geforce, or go for AMD radeon R9. And you don't need to worry about Operating system, Both are best on there own.Forget what others say, without a good graphic card, nothing gonna work.
