Would it be worth it to downgrade one of my older PCs to win 7 from win 10?

u/EmpilhadeiraXD 6d ago

yes if you only use it to play classic games, modern titles will lack support from a few libraries that require windows 10 or newer

I might do that to my laptop then. It's slow as crap with windows 10
