Microsoft's Windows system is accompanied by our long-time old friends, most people are used by generations of Windows, the old users have a consensus that Microsoft's system generation will be very good, and the next generation It will be very bad, such as Windows XP, Windows 7 is very popular, and Windows 2000, Windows Vista is a sad story. As for Windows 8, it is a good thing. If it is on the touch device, Windows 8 is much better than Windows 7, but without the touch, the Windows 8 interface is not easy to use. Let's take a look at Win10 vs. Win7 who is faster. I hope it will help everyone!
Microsoft's next-generation operating system, Windows10, is scheduled to be released on July 29. The new operating system has learned a lot of lessons from Windows8 and made great changes in the interface. The menu is returned, and the Metro dynamic tile interface is also reserved. The Windows 10 interface has two modes: desktop mode and tablet mode, which can provide a better user experience for both types of devices.
We have written an article comparing the performance of Windows 10/8.1/7 three-generation system games. At that time, Bulid 10041 version was used. Now Windows 10RTM version (Bulid 10240) has been released. As the official retail version of Windows 10 in the future, what is its performance? What you have to do today is a complete performance comparison.
Test Platform and Description
Now users who use Windows 8.1 system believe that most will choose to upgrade to Windows 10, and most of the entangled upgrades are Windows 7 users. Today, this test is for Windows 7 users. Look, compare the performance differences between the two generations of systems.
Test platform uses Intel Xeon E3-1230v3 processor, ASUS Z97-Deluxe motherboard, Zhiqi SNIPER DDR3-16004GB*2 memory, graphics card is NVIDIA public version GTX 960, system disk uses Plextor M6Pro 256GB, The Windows 10 system uses the 353.54WHQL driver pushed by the System Update Center, and the Windows 7 system uses the latest 353.30 WHQL driver on the official website.
Windows 10 This game is the biggest upgrade to support DirextX12, now DX11 graphics card supports DX12, please refer to this article "Win10" : Detailed explanation of Microsoft DX12.
According to Microsoft's statement, DX12 can improve the performance of the game, which means that Windows 10's game performance should be better than the current Windows7 and 8.1, but now, there is no game that supports DX12, 3DMark There is only one API test that supports DX12, but this test is not for you to test performance. How much improvement can DX12 bring? I don't know yet. Today's test is only to test the existing DX11 project.
First look at the benchmark of 3DMark, FireStrike standard mode, Windows 10 score is 6392, and the score of Windows7 system is 6308. If you look at the score, Windows 10 is higher, but if you look at the ratio, then It is more than 1%.
Windows 10 has some advantages, but the gap is actually a few frames to a frame, almost all of which can be eliminated as errors.
Browser performance comparison: Edge completes IE11
Windows 10 Another major update is that the default browser has become Microsoft Edge, and the long-established Internet Explorer is still there, but it has been hidden in a corner by Microsoft. The performance of the new browser is much better, this should also be of concern to everyone.
Microsoft Edge browser only supports Windows 10 system, so in this comparison, Windows 7 can only continue to use Internet Explorer 11 browser, testing HTML5 and JavaScript related projects.
Edge you can see the performance of Microsoft's browser is so eye-catching win in the face of IE11 is Microsoft Edge leading margin in the Octane 2.0 JavaScriptBenchmark this project More than 50%! The Kraken JavaScriptBenchmark project has an advantage of nearly 50%, and the new browser performance is quite worth looking forward to.
Disk performance comparison: Win10 wins
The SSD test's test disk is SanDisk Extreme Pro, the motherboard turns on the SATA interface AHCI mode, both use Intel RST driver.
CDM test results under Windows 10
4K random read and write performance is better than Windows 7, especially for random read and write at high queue depth.
PC basic performance test: Win10 is far ahead?
PCMark8
PCMark test Windows 10 system and Windows 7 score a few points, reaching 1000 points, the main reason is the bottom of the " Video ToGo” and “Music To Go”; these three multimedia file compression tests, Windows 10 system only takes a few seconds to complete, and Windows7 system takes 36 to 40 seconds, the gap is quite large.
The reason has not been ascertained yet. The reason for OpenCL has been considered, but the results of these tests have not changed after the Open7 of Windows7 system. The reason for PCMark itself is relatively large. See if the software is targeted at later. Update the Windows 10 system.

Full-text summary
After the above test, everyone should have a general understanding of the performance of Windows 10, Windows10 has a certain improvement in disk performance and compression performance, but there is no qualitative leap. What Windows 10 brings is more of a change in the user experience than an increase in performance.
At present, the game performance of Windows 10 is basically the same as that of Windows 7. Although the system supports DX12, due to the lack of supported games, the advantages are not fully demonstrated. Waiting for the game to support the latest DX12 API still needs to wait.
The new Microsoft Edge browser outperforms today's IE11, and it also has many features that IE doesn't have, such as extensions, cross-platform features, desktop and mobile platforms, and more. But it's hard to say how much the default browser has changed for everyone. I know that many people who read the article open IE in fact to download other browsers such as Chrome or FireFox, so we will talk about Microsoft Edge browser. Also write an article to see how it differs from the current mainstream browsers. Please stay tuned.
