That's where I am at too...I turned off the updates and it seems to chug along alright, now and again.

I updated my pc last week when it first became available, the reason - Game Mode! So far so good.  
I haven't tried the streaming function yet though.

Same here ,

Never 10

Win 7 , updates turned off ,

way to go

and my Windows XP home version on an Acer 10" Laptop ,,, is still the fastest
Laptop I have .

of course ,,, I only use that one to Spy on you guys

You're safe on XP CA, nobody is writing viruses for it, and you're right it's blazing fast.
My 2 laptops are Linux and Win7 with no updates.

Who'd a thought , right stiggy ?
Tee hee
Back when ,
Windows XP Pro sp3 ,,, I thought to myself : Self ,,,, it can't get any better than this "

My first brand new Win 7 machine , went stuck on Stupid with a Start up Bug from
an Update ,,,
Reloaded the OS ( pain in my ass ) and sold the Laptop .
never again with updates man .

8.3 sucked so hard , I shot that Machine ,,,,, TWICE !

My Son has W 10 and I 7 prossesor with EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 and 16GB ram on the machine he built

I have W 7 and I 5 prossesor with Nvidia Titan X graphics card and 128GB Ram and my Machine smokes his.

With an Nvidia Titan X graphics card and 128GB Ram it should.
I7' are useless for me, I don't run any programs that can even utilize the extra cores.
When I built my last rig I used a I5 4690k @3.50 and it over clocks to 4.0+ and remains stable. I've never even tried taking it beyond that.

Im not a Gamer, I use my PC for my art. I have renders that used to take 3 to 4 hours to complete that now finish in under 10 seconds lol.

Another reson I dont upgrade to W 10. a lot of the programs I use are very old versions, some dating back to the KAZAA days and W 10 will weed them out.

Same probs for making music with me.
I had everything I needed with XP. a bunch of the stuff I relied on went away with 7.
Of course, I found workarounds but I do miss having what I once had.

Yep when I went from XP to 7 I lost all the files I had saved in Bryce7, almost 1000 Models I had created. I almost gave up when that happened. But Time marches on and started over.

I can put a PC to the test, most game graphics are Low Poly Shapes with UV Maps applied. I dont UV map so my Models are High Polygon, most exceded a million Polygons and each .obj in the model has its own texture. Some models are over 500 individual .obj files.

Oh yeah...I recall when I first started rendering entire subdivisions in 3d with AutoCad, basically I got everything ready, applied materials and fired off the render command.
Then took 3 to 5 days off until it finished.

Yep I recall those times as well. I been doing some 4K stuff for Big Screen devices. Those take around an Hour and the files are so huge I cant post them anywhere. LOL, So I do a small version as a demo and then use WeTransfer if I make a sale.

Mind Boggeling Viewing them on my 55 inch 4K TV, so much there thats not seen in a normal Post.

We only had Macs for video editing, they performed better a few years ago.
You don't need that anymore as Windows does just as well.
