Windows 8.1 is the latest version of windows available to day. Windows 10 is not out yet. 9 was skiped. I would urge you to get windows 8.1. then if you want to make some thing look different to reduce the learning curve or you just like it better I would recommend the following apps. Classic shell. This will give you a more classic like interface. It will also allow you to tweak the start menu in many ways that you can not under windows 7 xp or 8.1.
Old new explorer. This allows you to turn off the ribbon in windows explorer move the command bar put a status bar on the screen and a number of other cool things. If you do these things you will be able to have the start screen a start menu designed to your liking and a windows explorer with what ever interface you like and the advantages of the new copy paste dialogs. You will also be able to run windows 8 apps soon to be universal apps. Windows 8 is more stable faster a lot easyer to deal with if there is a problem for example you can refresh the operating system with out having to reinstall it the refresh does work with speech. System restore has never let me down yet either. I would go for windows 8. -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bud Schwab via Talk Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2015 8:25 AM To: windoweyes Subject: which version of windows should I get Hi Gang, I am currently using windows 7 64 bit, but my computer is about to fail on me and I am going to get a new one. I'm familiar with windows 7 64 bit but don't even know if it's available any more on a new computer. My question is, of the versions of windows available today, 8, 9, and 10, is there one of them that works best with windoweyes? I have the latest version of wineyes. Thanks for any input. Thanks.
