Analysis of the 3 versions of Windows(Windows 7, 8.1, 10)

in #technology6 years ago (edited)

Hello everyone, this time I have decided to bring you a simple analysis of the 3 main operating systems of Microsoft, this analysis will be from a general perspective, I will talk about my experience using the 3 systems and I will give my conclusion about each one.

Windows 7

Minimum requirements

  • CPU 1 Ghz 32 bits (x86) 64 bits (x64)
  • RAM memory 1 GB 32 bits (x86) 2GB64 bits (x64)
  • 800x600 screen, multi-touch (optional)
  • Graphics Card DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher, Windows Aero also req. 128 MB of VRAM.
  • Hard disk 10 GB free space 32 bits 20 GB free space 64 bits

In windows 7 we have a continuist scheme with respect to the previous versions, it is very stable, and has an interface that although it is a few years ago is still nice and pleasant for the user, it works very well in the devices that they comply with the minimum requirements, they have more control over the behavior of the updates, their interface is very fast and it is easy to move around in the computer, it is supported by almost any computer and it does not consume resources while nothing is being done.

During the trial period of Windows 7 I have never had problems like; bugs, hanging or some famous blue screen, and although my pc is of simple features I can do any task without problems, even play some games with good performance as Dota 2, LOL, SWTOR and games of similar requirements, for me is the more recommended for a standard PC, which is not so current, stressing that most computers are optimized to run an operating system that is usually with which they come, always take into account that our manufacturer provides support for that system before updating to later versions to avoid failures, currently windows 7 is still widely used, and is preferred by gamers, offices, companies ...
This system has a long time before its support is removed, so while it is a perfect option if you are looking for an optimal performance with few features.

Windows 8.1

Minimum requirements

  • 1 GHz or faster processor, compatible with PAE, NX and SSE2
  • 1 GB of RAM (32 bits) 2 GB of RAM (64 bits)
  • Capacitive screen (optional) to take advantage of the touch input and 1024x768 in size.
  • Graphics card: DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 driver support
  • Hard disk 16 GB free space (32 bits) 20 GB free space (64 bits)

Windows 8.1 is a revolutionary system takes a big step to change a bit the interface, gives us a vision of the future in how it would be the new generation of the operating system, incorporates ARM support, which means that devices like tablets would be fully compatible with the, usually is a light system, and fast, starts much faster than windows 7, and comes with many new features with respect to the previous version, incorporates the metro interface, and launches with the windows store where You can download applications with metro apps environment.

My experience of use in windows 8.1 was nice, I did not have problems in questions of drivers or anything, personally I think the metro interface is very nice and all that topic, we must bear in mind that it is not that there are many applications in the Windows store but every time they are including more some of them are very interesting and you get free games very entertaining, it keeps many things from windows 7 when you leave the metro interface, however it costs a bit to get used to interact with the corners whose thing is necessary to turn off the computer haha, the games ran perfectly, comes with antivirus (windows defender) although usually it's better to deactivate it since in general when I'm playing I feel that I penalize some performance, in office tasks, oficinam works ... behaves well, does not feel heavy, and that if you see some increase in the use of resources while the equipment is unused, I recommend it more than all or for devices with multitactil screen to take advantage of all that it offers, although it can be used well without counting on it. to conclude, I can say that it seems to me a revolutionary operating system, since there was a big change, and it gives beginnings for what would be the next operating system, I recommend it for a little more experienced user, who know how to move in, "yes no, well, nothing costs to show
: V "

Windows 10

windows 10 is the current operating system, it was released for free over a period of time, this system is still growing constantly incorporates a lot of new features, I have interaction with mobile devices, it is an improvement of what was previously in windows 8 and effectively incorporates the metro environment, with the rest, the start button returns, and the interface is much more minimalist, it changes a lot its appearance is very customizable, some control is lost by the user as a function of the actuations , since they are completely obligatory, we also have the windows store, and many redesigned apps, now you can use it "for free" linked to your microsoft account.

In Windows 10 I feel very comfortable is a very nice system in appearance, if I felt an increase in the consumption of resources, it works relatively well while you have a hardware that complies at least with the recommended requirements, because for example probe with a PC with the minimum requirements and the truth is that you feel pesades in the team, mainly to update you must take into account that your manufacturer has support with windows 10, because in my case the generic drivers that download windows update do not work so correct (in my case), try the system in a PC something newer, and did not suffer from that problem, and the truth is that the system behaves in a stable manner if you have a PC with the recommended resources, note that there is a great increase of processes in execution, that the truth sometimes neither stops that they are exactly but they come by defect, I do not like the fact that windows to defend can not be deactivated and to use some other antivirus, your options are or use the 2, or stay alone with windows defend, in games behave favorably, do not feel bugs as such, however as mentioned above always keep in mind that the manufacturer of your video controller also has support with windows 10, in normal tasks behaves well includes many new functions, which are very interesting, and allows you to have your team something more organized with the notification center, where you get emails, networks
I can conclude that it is definitely the system of the future, it is always in constant growth and incorporating new functions and corrections of errors, despite all these rumors about the way in which you spy (which you must take into account) seems to me a good option when you are a standard user

Well my dear readers this was my analysis of the windows versions, from my personal point of view, I was as neutral as possible, and it does not let me get carried away by the fanaticism that windows 7 is the best in the world and all that theme, but if it tries to emphasize the most important of each one and its advantages, and the interaction with a common user. Do not forget to leave your vote, and if you have any suggestions, I would appreciate it, or some topic that you want me to speak about, leave it in the comments, thanks for reading.
