Hey guys I m wondering if the type of windows 7 makes a difference in gaming or if it is worth getting above home premium for regular use. I'm not really familiar with what the difference between all of them are, so what are the benefits of each? Thanks guys
 
Solution
if you want a free os, get linux

if you are still in school/college/university

you can get a student edition of win7 cheap

i got win7 professional upgrade for £50 (i upgraded from win xp) about 2 years ago
here ya go

to be honest it wont make any differnce to gaming, you dont want the virtual pc, its not as good as the alternatives and not worth the cost

bitlocker is not as good as truecrypt/similar


best stick to premium the benerfits from better versions are not really usefull for ordinary people


forgot to mention that the backup utility built into windows is alright but nothing special and dosnt compare to any 3rd party offerings
 



if you really want one to play games,

id sugest you look around at places like


rtwincustomise


they offer customised win7 trials (you need to buy an original copy and use the code to activate it)

they have ones customised to make games run faster etc


they are not the only ones doing it either.


there is a program called game booster you may want to have a look at getting
