What OS do you think I should use for dual-booting?

Postby carmaniac » Fri Dec 27, 2013 4:23 pm

I got a new laptop on Christmas and it came with Windows 8 (I installed Windows 8.1 after that btw) but trouble is, MM2 and many other games are not compatible with the OS. I'm thinking of dual booting Windows 8.1 with either these 2 OS:

Windows 7: Better for game than Windows 8.1, but sometimes some compatibility issues with older games (but not MM2 and MM1).

Windows XP: The best for gaming, but support ends on April 2014...

So, what one should I choose?

I have Mac OS X and Windows 7 :P

You should get windows 7, and if problems arise, get a virtual machine of Win XP :P

Also, one of my trucks[/color]

I've got an idea, maybe use Windows XP first and when support for it ends, switch to Windows 7!
