What OS are you using and recommend

[NNEMO]

I have launchbox installed on windows 7 and it worked ok, what OS are you using and recommend?

I have been thinking of upgrading to windows 10, but what about windows 11?

10, it has everything you need with mature drivers and libraries such as .NET and Direct X12.

I would not recommend going to 11 yet, it hasn't even been officially released and drivers are still being developed. Give it about a year or so and then upgrade if there is a compelling reason to. Windows 10 won't obsoleted for a few more years at the minimum.

Thank you quick response, I love win7, but there is alot of compatibility issues im having, Im not really sure whats going on.

Should I just wipe the drive and install win 10?

I have a large 30k game library i need to move, what is the best route for me to tak? plz help

I loved Win7 as well but 10 really is better now.

A fresh install is always recommended when it comes to upgrading the OS but it's not always necessary. Sometimes it works without issues but other times it can be a bit problematic.

As for the large library to move i'd suggest getting a big hard drive and transfer everything to that which you can either use in the PC or keep as an external backup.

Has anyone looked into Windows 10 LTSB (Long Term Servicing Branch)?

I was thinking about using it for my cabinet as its smaller and has no bloatware

I use LTSB and I can't say I noticed any difference in performance but it is nice not having the bloatware and being able to disable all the telemetry.
