Gamers Seems To Be Moving Back To Windows 7 According To Steam
As far as Microsoft’s OS war goes, last month, Windows 10 actually saw quite a decrease in players despite its excellent growth of users back in June. Windows 7 has been seeing an excellent surge of gamers making their way back onto the outdated OS that still claims itself home to many PC gamers including myself. According to Steam’s survey, they have recorded a 0.74% decrease in users who are using their Windows 10 machines for gaming with Steam. Meanwhile, Windows 7 is seeing a 0.86% gain in users which really goes to show how many gamers are making their way back onto the 2009 OS.
Taking a look at the Green vs Red results, the GTX 1060 still reigns supreme with users preferring the card over AMD’s RX 480/580 series of GPUs with the GTX 1060 getting in increase of just 0.16% for the month of July. For those gamers who have just started building their PCs it seems like their has been a healthy increase in GTX 1050 and GTX 1050 Ti owners as well with the GTX 1050 Ti recording in an increase of 0.54% and the non-Ti adding 0.45% to its overall user base on Steam.
Taking a look at AMD’s influx, the Red team finally sees a healthy increase of 0.43% meanwhile the Intel camp sees a decrease of 0.41% for their side. Seems like users could have been switching over or users could be building some new Ryzen systems. Its going to be interesting to see this month’s results due to AMD’s Ryzen 3 launch.

I have 3 hard drives and a OS on each one. Windows 7/8.1/10. Some games I have don't like Windows 10 or I can only get them to run in Windows 8.1 or 7. Didn't fully go back to Windows 7. But I did miss it lol

Sume I'm really not surprised. Windows 7 is much more stable and user friendly.
It isn't believe or not... 10 FTW :D

I dual-boot Win10/7 because my Logitech G920 doesn't work with Windows 10, but that's it, I didn't completely revert.

Idk about this. Everyone I know and game with is sticking with windows 10. I love the creators update. Patched a lot of ESP hacks and increases performance a lot more than a lot think. I'll be staying with my current windows 10 pro.
