I have windows 7.
I don't see any reason to upgrade though? I have heard horrible things about 8. MY PC is a 5/6 year old laptop. I only really use it for browsing and playing Red Alrt2.

I wanna reserve my copy, but it makes me feel like some child-mithered mother walking out of the supermarket and seeing the BOGOF impulse purchase near the till.
I am currently running a Compaq cq57, 1.6ghz dual core processor, 6gb RAM, was running Windows 7 but now on the Windows Beta for 10.
So far, it is running faster and all the programs launched so far from Windows 7 run seamlessly. I will try out Red Alert 3 momentarily.
EDIT: Yes it appears to run fine.
The only thing I have noticed is that my cpu is running a little hotter than normal, but well within tolerances so it is acceptable. That may be fixed with better drivers.
If you want to test the beta version yourself, read through all the jargon first, as it requires back ups of everything you want to keep (in case it has issues).
It does take a little while to upgrade to it, took me best part of four hours.
