    I installed Windows 8.1 on my good old PC and it's just turned my PC back into a beast! Insane performance! It was on Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit when it came, and then I updated it to Windows 10 32 bit, and after that to Windows 10 64 bit through clean install, and when performance became worse day by day, I changed to Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit on 2020 (that was the BIGGEST mistake lol) and had bushels of problems like GPU driver signature, etc. And after HEAVY lagging, frustrations and pains, Windows 7 updated to it's latest version and it was at least usable after that. Hence, I saw TrigrZolt's video on comparing 5 Windows versions, in which Windows 8.1 won. i was astounded, as Windows 8 was hated by my cousin brothers a couple years ago, and I thought Windows 8.1 must be no different. I was WAY TOTALLY WRONG. Installed Windows 8.1 two weeks ago, and got great performance. Snappiest experience possible, lowest boot time. And with a good combo of Windows 7 transitions and Windows 10 Metro theme. Had ABSOLUTELY no issues. No Telemetry, forceful creation of Microsoft Account, preinstalled bloatware and Cortana crap.

      @@OldyOldLandOldOldy It's the same reason as Vista. There some programs that run on XP and 7, but not Vista, just like the ones that run on 7 and 10 but not 8. It's because these OS' have been "marked" as bad and that means not a lot of people uses them.

    Before I upgraded to W10 and had it dual boot Manjaro
    A long time ago on w8.1
    My pc didn't properly shutdown and I hit task manager
    The window border was w7 style and then I opened cmd as a new task and hit explorer
    A buggy Windows 7-like UI showed up, taskbar and all
    Start menu was unusable but it let me shutdown properly
    Was cool

    • @whee6506
      @whee6506 4 роки тому

      I think the reason (which actually could be the real reason) why 8.1 is so underrated is bc of Windows 8’s failure and people who used it a bit downgraded to Windows 7 and told others to ignore and avoid it.

    Hey, really liked this! Had the same glitches with the customizergod that you mentioned (Glad I backed up my computer because it literally didnt open start menu after changing some icons) and because im really lazy to find any solution so just didnt do anything with it. It doesnt bother me a lot anyways. Really liked the end result, It literally is SO similar to windows 7! And your tutorial was nice and simple to keep up so thanks! Now im gonna enjoy my new windows 7
    Also I know you said to not ask about it, but if you know any solution to the customizergod can you share it? as I said when I tried putting an icon it didn't display so I tried using the restore button. Bad idea. It wouldn't let me open start menu and all the icons were gone. Tried a second time but didnt nail it so instead of doing the long procces of restoring to another point I just did the /SFC SCANNOW on cmd. Works pretty well to restore corrupt icons if you ask me. So do you know anything about this? I searched a little but no solution. Thankss!
