    Default Which Windows to upgrade to: 7, 8.1, 10

    I have enjoyed my Win Vista and have been able to use all of my Magix and Xara products. Sadly I'm seeing all of my product upgrades passing me by bc they no longer run on Vista.
    As long as no matter which version I end up with it will have to be a complete new install, I'm trying to make the best selection for my programs.
    Does anyone have any insight into which version best with Xara?
    I'm using Xara Designer Pro X (365). I also would like to consider Photostory, but newest version requires my Windows upgrade to 7, 8.1, or 10. I hav a quad core desktop with 6GB RAM.
    Also want to return to my missing Magic Video Pro X (sorry, another forum).
    So which version of windows might b my best option? Any insight would b deeply appreciated.

    7 if you want to be able to control you computer 10 if you want to allow Microsoft to do so and install rubbish that you never will use and cannot delete.
    I have gone back from 10 to 7 on all of our computers.

    10 What I like about 10 vs 8 is that Windows configures your screen to as close as possible to how it was before you upgraded. Not sure how close this will be going from Vista, but 10 has been very good and stable for me.
