Windows 11 vs windows 10 vs windows 8.1 vs windows 7 speed test

#allofwindows #windows #speed
in this video, I'm going to compare 4 of last generation windows platforms on averagely older hardware to see which is better for this kind of hardware.
All of these operating systems tested on same laptop on different times.
Laptop I used in this video:- hp 242 g1
specs:- Intel Core i5 3230m, 8 GB dual channel ddr3 RAM,120GB ssd+500GB HDD

As someone who has been on 7, and 8 occasionally, it's safe to say that these operating systems are quick, stable, and the perfect choice for lower hardware requirements. 7 is great for the traditional desktop, while 8 would benefit greatly with a device with touch compatibility.

[@DEFINITE444]

in my opinion windows 8 is the lightest of them all cuz it was built to run on smartphone devices also

8.1 was (and still is) an amazing OS, so simple and straight to the point, no BS like w11 cluttered with all kinds of useless crap and widgets no one wants and uses and besides, the OS performance while scrolling around, right clicking, opening folders and stuff is atrocious compared to 8.1 or 10, disgusting...

[@nsaneaf4982]

it depend of the computer sure for old computers running with 4gb ram and a hard drive windows 8 will run better, but any recent computer with ssd and 8gb ram will run windows 10 easily and smoothtly. I reinstalled Windows 8.1 on my 2014 laptops because it had trouble resume from sleep mode in windows 10 other than that windows 10 was alright and so is windows 11 on my desktop it's fast and smooth if you have a good pc

I still use Windows 8 today. There is absolutely no issues with the operating system on my side and my boot up time to user login is just a little under 4 seconds ! Come to think of it... I never had issues with any Windows operating system. I reckon that user input plays an important role in the behaviour of any operating system.

[@moforetro3612]

I also run 8 today, it's a fantastic operating system. It's light, fast & powerful. It's my favourite version of windows that doesn't deserve the hate it recieves. People just didn't know how to use it but once you do it's awesome.

[@andremckenna2007]

@@moforetro3612 in 2015 I just had to press the third-party start button and make a few small changes to have a fantastic operating system, it never crashed, it never gave problems, it works everywhere in a stable and fast way: I'm talking about windows 8pro 64 bit! I forgot to say: I have never formatted Windows 8 since 2015, while I have to format Windows 10 a few times... I do the same thing with both 8 and 10!

[@MD_il_microcanale]

true, my PC with Windows 8 Pro 64 bit only has 44 active processes! I've never had to format it since 2015! It always ran stable and fast, never a problem! With windows 10 I have to format once every 2 months! obviously everyone will tell you that 10 & 11 are a thousand times better, the reality is that these PC people understand almost nothing about it and they certainly only used windows 8 for a few days or weeks before going back to 7 (which is still a good SO). Then they went straight to 10 and now all they do is shovel mud on 8, telling the lie that they used it and didn't understand anything about it. If they had really used it they would have seen its speed, its stability but above all they would have seen that ultimately it is the same as Windows 7, only faster.

when you are using Windows 10 or 11 it means your pc runs 70% for microsoft and 30% for you. And when using Windows 8.1 it runs 100% for you. . windows 10 consume 3 gb ram and high data ane high background processing. whereas windows 8.1 consume only 1gb and less background. so it run more faster than 10 and 11.

Windows 11 is a bloated pig. Win 10 used to be much faster 8.1. It was a great OS in its first few years. The problem is Microsoft is bloating 10 and 11 with spyware , junkware and other bs so much that they littery take a big spoon out of your resources to use them. My corporate laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad A485 custom with more ram and storage) runs win 10 and its the first computer I have ever seen to lagg behind typing. I'm not jokeing. I'm typing and the letters show 5-6 sec later. If you check resourse , the CPU is almost all the time at 100. What takes so much? Windows defender, windows anti-malware and windows approved databse (the telemetry) , they combine take 40% CPU non stop. I cant desable them, because is company regulated (I'm software blocked). I had a simular problem on my home deckstop. Chrome took 1 min to load and file explorar 20 sec (on i7 8700k and 32gb ram and pretty much no usage). It was some update that caused it ,but could not revert , had to install new OS. Pretty much currently Wind 10 and 11 are horrable because of Microsoft desigions that are holding them back.
