Is there a difference in computer resource consumption between Windows 7 Home Edition 32x and Windows 10 Home 32x?

Answer 1

Definitely, it is confirmed by synthetic tests, the main thing! if there are drivers for both win7 and win10, the latter is up to 10% slower to work with the disk.
Also in windows10 there are much more background processes and services (default settings) that greatly affect disk work and occupy RAM. Because of this, even ordinary numbers that actively use the processor cache (that is, when operational data gets into it) lose speed precisely because background processes force more user data out of the cache .. this is also noticeable.
And most importantly, the windows10 interface is less responsive, it can be seen everywhere, both in the start menu and in the explorer (although winxp / win7 could be greatly slowed down simply by installing more applications that register activex components and com classes, I think this is exactly what happened with win10, objects coming there are more in the bundle with the OS), I'm not talking about broken usability now, in win10 in the end there are more gestures for many settings (to get to the old non-metro settings, try opening the old time settings menu to, for example, disable or change the time server from which the clock is synchronized)
I remember it was a shock to me that in win10 launching applications by hotkeys (shortcut properties, setting up keyboard shortcuts) and just launching system applications by pressing multimedia keys takes time (about half a second), run the calculator, you will understand what I mean. Studying the question, I realized that, firstly, these are metro applications, their launch is, in principle, not instantaneous, but even worse, if the Internet 'breaks' (for example, specify the wrong dns or register the wrong route), then the launch of applications slows down even more, but not regularly, as if almost every launch of the application forces the OS to send a network packet to the Internet and wait for a response (the anti-virus is disabled by itself). I was specifically looking for a non-metro calculator application, and even it could not start instantly every other time
so the answer is yes, win10 is noticeably slower than win7 in almost all aspects, but provided that there are hardware drivers for both versions of the OS, which is getting more and more difficult every day.
Of course, if you are actively engaged in tuning the system, with some chances you can bring the speed of win10 to win7, unfortunately, when at intervals of a year several times, arriving cumulative updates almost completely reset all speed-critical settings to default, I was tired of fighting with windmills , and later completely switched to linux, leaving a half-empty win installation for the virtual machine.

Answer 2

There is a difference.
Win 7 is less demanding on resources.
Subjectively, it will work faster, but there is a problem with the drivers, some hardware does not work under Win 7.

Answer 3

the best strategy is to switch to a new OS when it has already taken 30-40%.
In the case of a beech, a new wasp with a new beech, that is, from the manufacturer.
This is due to the fact that the drivers are relevant and collective experience is accumulating.
