Lately i have been thinking of reinstalling windows to clean things up and improve performance. A few weeks ago i swapped out a motherboard, RAM, and CPU and just hooked my SSD windows 7 install up. Surprisingly everything seemed to work okay without reinstalling windows, but its been several years anyway and its time. Im getting stuttering when playing games so to me thats a hint. Ive uninstalled unnecessary shit, and turned everything off in msconfig.
Windows 10. The thought horrifies me, but with life support for windows 7 coming to an end soon, there really isnt any other option beside Linux and I don't feel like dealing with driver and software compatibility issues all the time.
That said, What should I expect? Is it as fucked up as windows 8 was? I just puked a little thinking about windows 8. Where is the best place to get a key? OEM or Retail, I dont care. I am not looking for an upgrade. Just somewhere cheap. My MSDN account expired like yesterday or something and they wont reactivate it.
cheers.
