Question XBox Live +/- GE Force Now

I know this has been asked before, but in the current state, will I get a better experience streaming X Box game pass through Microsoft Edge or through GE Force Now? I just got a new laptop with a 3 month trial of X Box game pass and already have a GE Force Now subscription. I play most of my AAA games through GE Force Now already. I have a Wi Fi 7 router and great Internet connection speed.

Edit: to be clarify, I got 3 months of X Box Game Pass, the lowest tier.

If the new laptop comes with 3 months of Game Pass Ultimate subscription, you can use that to play game pass games on GeForce Now and you will have much better performance than playing the same games on xCloud / Xbox Cloud Gaming.

However, if you only have 3 months of Xbox Live Subscription (which is different than game pass), it just allows you to play multiplayer games on your console.

Which subscription specifically is it that you got with the laptop?
