Guys

I'm building a new PC and trying to decide on the OS for it.
I've had a quick go at Windows 8 and found it SO frustrating as it took me so long to do anything that I've decided for now I should probably stick with Windows 7.

I've noticed on the internet there are several customised versions of Windows 7 floating around - such as Black Gamer Edition, Final Remix Edition, Ultimate Gamer Edition etc etc.

These look to be customised to already include most the tools you need, or to be faster, more stripped down already etc etc.

Does anyone know if I can I just use the key from my purchased version of windows 7 on all of these versions ?

Does anyone have any experience of any of these versions and know if any are worth trying/avoiding ?

I know it's maybe a bit lazy taking this route, but if I can avoid hours spent tweaking Windows then it would be a nice start.

Thanks all!

Great tip for installing the apps! Thanks a lot.

Doesn't address the issue of all the tuning and tweaks that you get with the customised windows versions though ?

Well if you're going to run it standard, as you've suggested, then no, it doesn't.

But I mean disabling services you don't need, stopping programs at startup that slow things down, etc etc - all the things one would normally do to ensure their pc is starting up and running as fast as poss.

If that's something you yourself don't do - fair enough, but I've always done that hence looking at precustomised versions.

I can't say whether they're compromised or not, hence asking in here if anyone has any experience of them.

With modern multi-core PCs, large amounts of RAM, SSDs, and modern Operating Systems (ie anything newer than XP), the need to tweak with the OS is negated.

So basically what you're saying is that the sticky thread in this forum, the badass guide to tweaking and optimizing windows - is pointless yeah ?
