I had a chrome OS laptop I had really hard time using it due to the way it was built and it looked girly. I do like girly stuff but I perfer my devices to be black or gray or red or something... |

Chrometops were designed for people who used phones and wanted a "computer."
Egh. |

7>10>8
so if you have windows 8, upgrade to windows 10
if you have windows 7, keep it
if you have windows 10, just keep it |

I got windows 8.1 but I'm prob gonna keep it for now I like it's layout but windows 10 is better. I like how we can change the colors of the start screen I might make mine pink after my pc comes back from being wiped clean. |

if youre going to switch to linux or mac, i recommend linux. macs are overpriced.
and the version of linux i would get is linux mint (disclaimer: i never tried linux mint, but it seems like the best one) |

It only needs wiped because I downloaded hotspot shield on it and the files are still stuck in the registry and won't remove when I attempt to remove it. But chrome OS really does look like it's made for the internet I do agree and I bet google only made their own OS so they can make more money and so they can only have their browser automatically installed when people buy it. |

you can change the color of the start menu/screen on windows 10
if you for some reason prefer the windows 8 layout, you can switch to the start screen |

I do perfer the windows 8.1 start screen I saw the start button and it looks ugly with the apps inside it. And I grew attached to the start screen. Also I don't like how the taskbar below is black I wan't it the same color as the windows 8.1 all clear. |

Meh I might have to revisit windows 10 this friday then after it's wiped. But I serious might change the color of the start screen to pink I been kinda wanting to use that color for the past few days. |

Yup it didn't even pick it up. I opened the system registry and hotspot shield is just not a program you wanna install. I heard they sell your information while their software is installed on your system. |

I'm not talking about windows 10 or google related I mean hotspot shield I tried using it since I got IP blocked on this one 2d browser game for a idiotic reason. But I can agree with google and maybe windows 10s ideas for sending info to them because they need it for the apps to work. |

Windows 10 is the best.
2011ers FTW |

I use Windows 7 right now, and I really like both it and 8.1. I found them both fast out of what I used of 'em, and didn't find 8.1 that hard to use since I mainly just used desktop mode.
I've used a bit of 10 and.. eh. The bad driver support, spyware and lack of customization sort of turned me off from it.
What could paw-sibly go wrong? |

I would not worry too much about this if you don't have a bunch of personal info on your PC.

Agreed AlphystheLizard windows 7 and 8.1 are great but I perfer 8.1 more since it's on the next level of technology advancement while windows 7 still holds some of the features of windows xp. If it wasn't for this software being discontinued in 2023 I'd prob keep windows 8.1 for as long as possible. |

I do wanna say this though. Windows 8/8.1 and windows 10 was built to support mobile devices and desktops and laptops. Windows 7 only supports desktops it doesn't support mobile devices. |

Mostly trying to make replies to help this thread reach a 4th page at least before it dies.... But I'm gonna choose pink for the start screen color when windows 8.1 desktop comes back from being wiped clean. |

I have no idea what is the difference between windows vista and windows 7 or why people hates vista but I do love windows 7 but soon as I touched windows 8.1 windows 7 became dead to me :C |
