What should i choose windows 8 or windows 7


Sorry if this is in the wrong sub forum, there is not a sub forum for "windows 7 and windows 8"

And sorry if this is a re-post

Neither of those operating systems are gonna run super amazing with only 2 GBs of RAM. Especially, if you are using this for work. If you wanted to try and make things run faster in terms of loading you can get an SSD to coincide with the 2 GBs of RAM (or just add more RAM since it's cheaper). Of course the SSD won't be RAM, but having something else helping it running faster in other ways might make you feel better than just only have 2GBs of RAM in it.

I agree with jonespwns post. I would add that Windows 8 is not very popular with most folks. Windows 7 is supported until 2020 and Windows 8 until 2023 FWIW. If you go with Windows 8, you might want to download the free Classic Shell which will make Windows 8 look and feel like earlier versions of Windows.
