[SOLVED] Should i upgrade to windows 8.1?

[ROCK BAND]

Hello guys, my system specifications are 4gb ddr2 ram, core 2 duo e7500 processor 2.93 ghz, 500 gb ssd, nvidia geforce gt 710 gddr3 2gb. I currently have windows 7 ultimate 64 bit version. I have heard that windows 8.1 is lighter than 7. First of all, my priority is playing games (don't laugh at me as everyone cannot get high end pc) so considering that, should i upgrade to windows 8.1 or not, will it have any negative impact on fps?

It's not lighter and by all means if that's what you heard, then Windows 10 is even...lighter. As time rolls on, OSes see updates and revisions to said OS, meaning some bugs are ironed out, essentially more features are added or removed which can and will impact the responsiveness of a system.

I think you can upgrade to Windows 10, with your current license key. Make and model of your motherboard? You might be better off not playing games on that system since the PSU in that unit might already be on it's way out.

Nope, stay on W7.

but my friends has same specs as me and his ram usage is 1.4 gb idle but mine is 1.8 gb, so w 8.1 seems lighter, so should i get 8.1?

Irrelevant.
His software is not exactly the same as yours.
Either stay on Win 7, or upgrade to Win 10.

Yes.
No.
Maybe.

There is no way to tell exactly if your "FPS" will change up or down, especially at the level of "1 FPS".
It might get better. But that may be due to just a fresh OS install, and not changing from Win 7 to 8.1.
Or it might get worse.

Good luck.

And sometimes the question makes no sense, and can't be answered with a simple "Yes" or "No".
Too many other variables.
