Hi
I want to buy a new PC for work and gaming. I would like to avoid Windows 10 for as long as I can and stick to Win7 for now. I might do a Win7 / Win10 dual boot some day when Win10 is required.
I am aiming at hardware like: Skylake CPU, LGA1151 Motherboard and around 16 to 32 GB DDR4 RAM (plus a Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 or 1070).
I heard that my limitations with using Win7 are going to be: USB3, SATA, SSD, DirectX 12. But I am not sure what exactly. Can someone please elaborate?
I don't mind a slight reduction in performance, but how much are we talking about approximately?
Also, can anyone please recommend me a specific hardware setup that is going to run fine on Windows 7? A setup that is powerful but compatible with Win7 and that is going to last for at least a couple of years.
Thanks in advance
