Hi,

I currently have my friends and my own gaming PC at my house. They both have Windows 7 64bit which I have used for a while now but I managed to get a free upgrade to Windows 8.1 through my work.

Is it worth sticking it in and upgrading or will I regret it and start from scratch again with Windows 7?

Thanks
 
It's different, I prefer it now but it took a while to get use to. If your Windows 7 install is working fine then simply wait until you're ready to refresh and give it a whirl imo.
 
If you do decide to upgrade, go straight to Windows 8.1 Update 1.

I would wait for Windows 9.
 
You have a free upgrade to 8.1 so go for it,nothing to lose IMHO,worst case is install a third party Start menu like Classic shell etc...

Win9 is not due until next year (April 2015 was last ETA)so quite a wait.

Try it in a VM first? Don't activate it tho, just use the 30/60 day grace period to give it a test drive.
