Title: W7 mining still alive?
Post by: Mighty_crypt on February 21, 2021, 09:06:44 PM
Honestly speaking Windows 7 is more better than Windows 10 back in the days when Windows 7 is still very much alive is there anyone out there still using Windows 7 to mine cryptocurrency today? I'm just a bit curious

How is 7 better than 10? Anything specific to mining?

My HTPC is Win8.1.

True, you get better and stable hashrate on windows 7 than Windows 10 years ago but now I doubt if anyone is still running Windows 7 for mining, that OS requires some updates and since microsoft drops support for the OS it will be hard to update
