Curious about Dual Booting.

[Looking2Build]

Hi All,

I have a coworker who says he has a dual boot system with Win 7 and 8, both home editions. He says he only boots 8 because streaming and page loading is faster, even though he has AT&T. He uses 7 for everything else (he uses Movie Maker a lot). My question is: Does he need to dual boot? I would think Win7 would be enough since he only uses 8 for internet surfing (plus AT&T is slower than Xfinity).

Nope he doesnt have to dual boot .Win7 is just as good as Win8

No, his 2 OS's have other issues and differences.
There is no performance diff between 7, 8, 8.1 or even 10.
