[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 801633, member: 31436"] If it's been some time since you've used Windows 10, you may want to try it again. It may run fine now that you've got more RAM and with one of the updates to Windows 10 (I think it may have been Creators Update), there was a noticable increase in performance compared to previous builds. However if Windows 10 still runs slowly, then Windows 8.1 would be a good choice and it will still receive updates until 2023, which is three years longer than Windows 7 will. It's been my experience on multiple computers that on some low-end computers it runs a lot faster than Windows 10. To those who have been saying Windows 10 is the best option, it's not, if it runs slowly. I've got a couple of laptops from 2006 that Windows 10 runs really well on, but I have some other more recent laptops that it runs slowly on. On those laptops, Windows 8.1 runs just as fast as XP, Vista and Windows 7. [/QUOTE]
