The only thing that is actually improved in 11over 7 is the Snipping Tool... 7 is a lot faster and safer, no data is leaked, no edge, no co-pilot, or other tools to enhance M$'s business... these come to mind immediately... In my experience the big diference between the ones that love Win 7...

Thanky ou for your help. I probably should have made it clear, that I am NOT a gamer. Your help and my additional research have told me (more or less) that easier to install will be a z270 board. Seems ASRock still supplies all drivers for Win7 and I now plan to use an i5-7600 or 7600K)...

I am using Win 7 on my Desktop, with a old MoBo with an 1150 and an i7 4770. I will stay with Win7 and I only want to upgrade. It seems highest i5 will be 9xxx on a z370? Before I buy this, I want to make certain, that this hardware will work for win 7, or will there be f.e. driver trouble...

Thank you very much... Seems I should have asked my question BEFORE deciding to buy the i7 and replace it. I thought there would be a distinct and actually useful difference between an i5 and an i7, given the price difference. But I gues it will only make a difference for gamers. Nut, the...

Thank you..... learned some more....

Thank you, I have seen that now on the list. In my world an i7 should be faster, actually a lot faster, than an i5 from the same generation. I will chek on my old i5, as soon as I find it.... When CPU Z tests my i7 and comes up with speeds of 3691 and 3890 MHZ, which is what they are...

I have used the CPU Z for years, but never found that it tells me anything I want to know. The list of your link (thank you) shows a benchmark of 405, but where on CPU Z does it show that? I have the i5 in a box with other computer parts, I will have a look at it. The benchmark of the 4690...

Thank you again... I ran several CPU benchmark tests, but never found one that will show me a result similar to the listed 405. The Core Speed between 3691 and 3890 is identical to what it shoud be...

Thank you. "They usually work fully or not at all, " well, I never heard that anywhere,. now I know, and I weill try Oc base. So, any benchmark test will not tell me anything new at all ? Any computer with identical hardware, will show exactly the same numbers after ten years, as when it was...

This question will probably show how little knowledge I have of computers, so please, indulge me.... (and I am not using this desktop for gaming.) I updated from an i5 4.Gen to an i7 4770. I was happy before and I am happy with it now, yet.... the i7 "feels" not really faster. So I want to...

I got a replacement dongle and a CD with the driver, but the problem remains: Cannot connect any headphones to the desktop. What I found that after right clicking the bluetooth icon in the taskbar, in the opening menu the link for "Allow a device to connect" is deactivated... see...

Thank you once again for trying, but I have done that. And as itis a clone of the previous installation, I expected to find nothing. The headphones are the Sony WH1000XM3 and I remember not being able to connect them (same with the WF1000XM3) for a while, when I got them. And then, one day...

I have a problem after re-installing Win 7 a few days ago: I can no longer connect my headphones via the bluetooth radio dongle.... I have the same set up as before, and pairing is on, and the headset is right next to the computer, yet, "adding a device"..... shows nothing. There are several...

You mean where I plug the cable in? No, no light...
