    Windows 7 or 8.1 for new laptop?

    BVX3001 Community Member

      I'm close to buying a new laptop based on a 4th gen i7 and an Nvidia GTX, primarily for general personal use and some home music production. I also need it as a capable emergency/portable CS6 editing backup to my Xeon Win 7 desktop system.  I can choose the new OS.  Is there still any reason for me to avoid 8.1? Are there instead actual benefits to getting it or 8.1 Pro now?  I'm wondering especially in terms of drivers, Premiere's performance and any new Windows features regarding things like system management and security. 

       

      Thanks in advance.
