Considerations Before Installing Windows 7: There isn't anything inherently difficult about installing Windows 7. The actual, physical process is as easy. Windows Vista (codenamed Longhorn) is an operating system by Microsoft for use on personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, tablet PCs and. Ethan511 Says: April 28th, 2013 at 3:25 pm. Ideally, they would have tied. OS X Lion and Windows 7 are both easy to use, have helpful features, and have many like. There, thanks to a blend of gaming technologies, Io. T and cloud computing, you can seamlessly interact with the products that interest you and make better buying choices. May 2. 6, 2. 01. 7. Raffaele Mastrolonardo in Innovation. Will Windows 1. 0 be good for gaming? I still use Windows 7, but I’m going to have to upgrade eventually, regardless of the terrible Modern UI- induced stress I get (what the crap is Xbox Music?). We’ll all have to upgrade eventually, because we’re going to want Direct. X 1. 2 features, right? So it’s great news for us that Microsoft will be offering free Windows 1. To clarify, Microsoft’s poorly- worded announcement made it sound to some like the free upgrade would eventually involve a subscription plan. What Microsoft meant was not “free upgrade for the first year,” but “upgrade for free within the first year.” It’s not a subscription: it’s a free, one- time upgrade from Windows 7 or 8 to Windows 1. Windows has always worked. My hope is that mass adoption of Windows 1. PC gaming audience—we'll never all be on the same hardware (and wouldn't want it that way), but at least non- Linux PC gamers can be on the same version of Windows and Direct. X. Back when Windows Vista launched, everyone who chose not to upgrade missed out on Direct. X 1. 0. Vista didn't have a lot of fans, because it was absolute garbage. If Windows 1. 0 suffers the same fate, Direct. X 1. 2 (and I’m 9. DX1. 2 won't be available on Windows 7) will go underutilized. But why would that happen if Windows 1. I reached out to a few developers to chat about the news, and Gaslamp Games CTO and lead programmer Nicholas Vining isn't as optimistic. Vining points out that only around 5. Windows 7/8 users have Direct. X 1. 2- capable hardware (actually, it’s some number greater than 5. Microsoft, but apparently not high enough to note the difference). And even if they do have capable hardware, he says, that doesn’t mean their hardware will perform well, and there’s no guarantee they’ll all upgrade to Windows 1. Lots of people, myself included, are perfectly happy with Windows 7.“Developers, especially smaller ones like us, cannot afford to reduce our userbase down to whatever percent of the Direct. X 1. 2 hardware owning userbase decides to migrate to Windows 1. Vining by email. But we see that free upgrade window as a push to wash away the sins of Windows 8 and get as many people as possible onto one OS. The sooner Microsoft moves past Windows 8, the sooner they can stop putting out significant updates for it, freeing them up to focus on forward progress. Shams Jorjani, VP of Acquisition, Portfolio Strategy & Unicorn Division at Paradox Interactive, didn't have any insight about unicorns, but did have a few things to say about DX 1. He seems somewhat indifferent to the advancement (and unsurprisingly fond of Paradox games). Then again, we have a few games that do look pretty so it's a win- win for us. Direct. X 1. 2 is intended to improve multi- threaded performance for games and let directors code 'closer to the metal,' with less overhead between their code and the CPU and GPU. Not all game developers need that level of control, however. We may stay fragmented after all. Even though I hate the sight of Windows 8, I do plan to upgrade to 1. I’m a little nervous, though. Microsoft pushed a few things today that made me uneasy, such as the ability to stream Xbox One games to a PC. There’s nothing intrinsically wrong with the feature, but I’m wary of any more attempts to treat the PC like an Xbox companion. Likewise, there’s nothing wrong with the functionality of the new DVR system, which will allow us to capture, edit, and share game footage, but I tend to back away from anything that seems to involve me more in the Microsoft ecosystem. Again, what the hell is Xbox Music? This guide works 100% for Windows 7 and Windows 8 unlike most of the guides out there. I have seen many sites/blogs that have “Install Vista from USB guide” but.
I want Windows to sit quietly and run my games, and I hope that Windows 1. As long as it doesn't intrude too much, though, I’ll be happy to take the free upgrade offer—even if I still think it looks like an OS designed for babies. There are also some important upgrades in Windows 1. Windows 7 might not know they're missing—better performance across the board, much faster boot times and far better UI scaling for 4. K+ resolutions, for example. And then there’s the crazy augmented reality stuff, but I don’t know enough about that yet to know how much I care (we’ll have more on Windows Holographic soon). Knowing what we do know, do you plan to upgrade?
