    I have a WIN10 on my laptop and WIN7 on my desktop. I have installed identical games on both systems and i have experienced some issues on WIN10 like compatibility and security issues while installing. With WIN7 its all smooth running. I'm wondering why is it that WIN7 is more efficient in terms of games installation even it's an old OS?

    I'm using Win10 too in my PC. The games I installed are all working. I don't know why it won't work on you.

    I couldn't say about Windows 7 as I'm using a Windows 10 Pro. I don't experience any compatibility issue, the one which pops up every once in a while is my anti-virus software.

    Windows works for me. I don't want to use Linux because it seems like an issue in itself for that matter. Mac is like hell for the gaming.

    I used to use windows 10.

    I used windows 7 in the past and I faced security reasons too. I don't understand why a game will not be compatible with windows 10 when it is a bigger version to windows 7. My windows 10 was 64 bits.

    32 bits windows 10 is different to the one with 64 bits. Maybe that was the issue.
