Windows 7 to 10 or 8.1
I have what was once a high-end Dell business PC desktop from 2013.
I've been running Windows 7 fairly flawlessly since then even though I'm constantly pushing the limits of the CPU. A couple weeks ago, knowing that Microsoft was dropping support for Windows 7 I installed a new SSD drive. The previous drive was a standard SATA. Then I installed Windows 10, updated the drivers and performed Avid's optimization suggestions. But now many of my Pro Tools sessions won't play from start to finish due to CPU overloads. So I have temporarily switched back the original SATA drive with Windows 7 and am ignoring warnings from Microsoft. Now I have a decision to make. Do I continue trying to wrestle with Windows 10 not knowing if it will ever play ball with the 7 year old technology inside the box? Or would I be better to baby step to Windows 8.1 which Microsoft plans to support for 3 more years? |
