Should I upgrade to windows 7 or stay with my windows xp?

I'm not sure about 7 being unstable, but it does eat up a lot of memory. I prefer XP for its simplicity and the less memory taken up, especially since some of my programs here, like Photoshop and my video-editing software, really take up a lot of memory. It depends on what you use your PC for, in my opinion.

Windows 10 is the best

I had windows xp for along time. When i bought my new computer a year ago it had vista with a free upgrade to windows7. I was scared at first because it had just came out. I have never had any problems with mine and im very glad to have windows7

I feel win7 is much better than winxp. From the day I switched to win7 I knew I can throw the xp disc away. The new win7 feather that attract me most is the SEARCH function. while searching the whole disk, winxp will cost a long long long time. win7 complete the whole disk searching in a blink of eye. There are still many other convenient feathers that winxp doesn't have.

I upgrade to windows 7 an is a great programm. It take some time to get use...but is better.

I'd say update to windows 7, but dual boot system with xp incase you want to go back

Wimdows XP is good, but Windows 7 is better. I have been using W7 for about a year now with absolutely no problems and I have had no trouble with it's stability whatsoever so I'd say go ahead, upgrade!

Good day stanley777, Now that a year has passed what did you do? Did you upgrade or not? I am still using XP as that is the program that came with my computer and I just haven't bothered to change it. I also don't know what my memory on my computer is so that could be a problem according to some of your other responses I read. I don't think it matters in my case, what window I use as I don't use my computer all that much. I figure why fix what isn't broken so I just leave it. Besides I heard a few bad things about windows 7 but now a year later I think those problems have been fixed. Good day chaitra001, I also like mylot for curing my loneliness. I left my husband 2 1/2 years ago and I moved to another city and the only person I really know here is my 28 year old daughter. I am self employed and don't really get to meet anyone except my clients and I can't mix work with pleasure so I get lonely a lot. I use mylot also when I get lonely. I feel like I have people to talk to. But only when people comment back to my replies. I was on mylot last night for about 3 hours and I posted about 25 responses and I have yet to recieve a single comment so I felt like I was alone anyways as no one was talking to me. I still feel that way today because when I opened my email box I still didn't see a single comment to any of my responses. Today I have been here for about an hour now and have responded to about 7 discussions and I still haven't heard from anyone so it is a little lonely today again. Cheers and happy mylotting my friend , chris

Most of the time when a new version of windows comes out I will wait a good while before upgrading but the new windows 7 version seems to be pretty stable. I myself haven't upgraded to it yet but I plan on putting together a new computer in the next month of two and I plan on installing windows 7 on it. I haven't used windows 7 very much but what I have seen is all good. Windows 7 is suppose to be really media ready for you entertainment needs and I do watch a lot of movies and streaming videos. In my opinion windows 7 is ok to install now.

It is depend on your computer processor and memory, my friend. If you memory is around 4 gig, you can upgrade into that OS windows 7. But if your memory is too low I suggest you to retain your old OS

Now your question depends on how do you use your computer. If you have some software that might not work with windows 7 and you need them, then use XP. But if you can also upgrade some of these software, then you go ahead and upgrade to windows 7. It's a use-friendly type of OS unlike the windows Vista with all its bugs and other complicated stuff.So far, Windows 7 is cool. I am using windows 7 for personal use, but for my job, we still use Windows XP because of too many programs installed in my computer.

from my experience you better stay with XP unless you have some special requirements. Otherwise go for Windows 7 only if you have a fast machine of around 4GB or more RAM. i5 or i7 processor. If you have planned to upgrade to Win 7 with your old system, then please leave that idea. Even a 4GB RAM and Dual Core Processor cannot render Windows 7 log on page quickly. Think and decide.

XP is by far better than 7. Compared, XP is much faster and stable, and much easier to use. Lastly, it's compatible with almost everything, while 7 has some know compatibility problems. You may consider Win7 for a new system when chosing your first OS, but changing it without a strong reason is stupid for me. Also, you need a faster machine if it's not already very fast.

In my opinion, if I had windows xp then i wouldn't change it to 7 because one of my friend did the same thing and he's facing alot of problems. His computer keeps getting viruses and its always slow as hell. The other reason i wouldnt pick windows 7 on xp is because some of the softwares on online are not upgraded with 7 yet. so it would be a major drawback for windows 7.

I work with Windows 7 and I find it very stable an reliable. However, I did not install it on to a computer that was running a different, earlier operating system. My last computer ran Vista and I stayed with Vista until I got this new computer. I didn't like Vista too much though because it was unstable. I did use to use XP and thought that was a great operating system, that gave me no problems, therefore I saw no point in upgrading for the sake of it. Windows 7 needs a better processor and lots of memory, but personally, I stick with the system that came with the computer and would not change if a new operating system were released. If it aint broke, I don't fix it. _Derek

Hi stanley: I am using windows 7 right now. When I first make this change I really miss the old windows xp but I think that we should adapt ourselves to new tecnologies in order to be updated to them. I think windows 7 is doing well and I like their images and how it looks. ALVARO

I still use Windows XP because of its established track record. You have maybe heard of organizations whose policy is to not accept any new software products until the first service pack is released. Their analysis is that by the time the first service pack is released, most of the bugs should have been fixed and the software will be constant and dependable. This similar viewpoint is part of what allows Windows XP to be a dominant operating system. It has been on the market for roughly seven years. In that time, it has received innumerable patches and updates, and the Windows XP has confirmed itself to be secure and dependable.

It depends on some factors dude. You should tell first what your computer specs are. Because if you computer is old then you should keep with your windows xp but if its a recent model then you should put windows 7 its sometimes unstabble yes but im pretty sure it will become better than xp with the updates and because the new games will only be playable on windows 7 not xp. Thanks for reading, commenting and rating :)

Win xp and win7 are all good systems.Win xp has been for ten years.Microsoft has not for its technical support.I think you should choose win7.Because win7 the latest and most advanced technology.

i am using xp, and i think this is much better than 7.. i've tried using 7 before, but all i can is that xp is more user friendly because it is so much easier to navigate.
