Windows 7 vs. 8.1

[Stip]

This may be a silly question, but is it okay to use the emulator on win 8.1? Or is it still better on 7?

[kinkinkijkin]

It's not better on Windows 7. Windows 8.1 is much faster than Windows 7, and is also more receptive to modification. Windows 7 is not better for anything in this day, especially if you modify windows to make it feel how you want it to feel.

I smell BS. Windows 7 is the best ideal gaming OS there is to date. Windows 8 or 8.1 will give you slightly lower fps in gaming and in emulation.

Nah, it's pretty much the other way around. Windows 8 actually is some FPS faster.

Can confirm. Windows 8 has a lot more efficient code and you will have more fps on that version. It is faster in general.

What the heck are you talking about? 8.1 is a lot better in many ways.

8.1 has the Start button back, at least.

Do people even use the Start Button

[kinkinkijkin]

I do. To get to the control panel. Or launch programs that only add launch methods to the start menu, and cannot be started directly from the executable directly.
