After the official release of win10, many users are caught in entanglement, and it is difficult to choose between win10 and win7. Today, Xiaobian introduces the difference between win10 and win7. I believe everyone knows how to choose it!
Win10 learned a lot of Win8 lessons, made a lot of changes in the interface, start menu return, and Metro dynamic tile interface is also reserved, Win10 interface has two modes: desktop mode and tablet mode, can provide for two types of devices A better user experience.
Test Platform and Description
Now users who use Windows 8.1 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, compare the performance differences between the two generations of systems.
Test platform uses Intel Xeon E3-1230v3 processor, ASUS Z97-Deluxe motherboard, Zhiqi SNIPER DDR3-1600 4GB*2 memory, graphics card is NVIDIA public version GTX 960, system disk uses Plextor M6Pro 256GB The Windows 10 system uses the 353.54 WHQL driver pushed by the System Update Center, and the Windows 7 system uses the latest 353.30 WHQL driver on the official website.
The biggest upgrade of Windows 10 in this game is to support DirextX 12. Now DX11 graphics cards support DX12.
According to Microsoft's statement, DX12 can improve game performance, which means that Windows 10's game performance should be better than the current Windows 7 and 8.1.
But now, there is no game that supports DX12. 3DMark only has one API test to support DX12, but this test is not for testing performance. How much improvement can DX12 bring? I don’t know yet. The test is also only to test the existing DX11 project.
First look at the 3DMark benchmark, FireStrike standard mode, Windows 10 score is 6392, and Windows 7 system score is 6308, Windows 10 is a high point if you look at the score, but if you look at the ratio In fact, it is more than 1%.
Show that Windows 10 has some advantages, but the gap is actually a few frames to a frame or so, almost all can be regarded as error elimination.
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, is the face of IE11 victory in the Octane 2.0 JavaScript Benchmark project leader Microsoft Edge More than 50%! The Kraken JavaScript Benchmark 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 To Go” and “Music To Go”; these three multimedia file compression tests, Windows 10 system only takes a few seconds to complete, and Windows 7 system takes 36 to 40 seconds, the gap is quite Big.
The reason has not been ascertained yet. The reason for OpenCL has been considered, but the results of these tests have not changed since Windows 7 started OpenCL. The reason for PCMark itself is relatively large. See if the software is available later. Update for Windows 10 system.

Full-text summary
After the above test, everyone should have a general understanding of the performance of Win10, Win10 has a certain improvement in disk performance and compression performance, but there is no qualitative leap. The more that Win10 brings is the change in user experience, not the performance improvement.
At present, the game performance of Win10 is basically the same as that of Win7. Although the system supports DX12, due to the lack of support for the game, the advantage is completely out of the game. 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 is 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 about Microsoft Edge browsing. We will write another article to see how it differs from the current mainstream browsers. Please stay tuned.
