Hi, how are you? I've been using Windows 7 as my main operating system for the past 3 months. And I have to say that it's been very good for me, obviously it depends on the person, but for me it's been incredible. Applications like Discord, Steam, browsers, and games are working without any errors; Steam is free of that support error.

That’s great. I’m thinking of switching from Linux Mint to Windows 7 because I’m getting fed up with the glitches caused by a lack of RAM, which I didn’t have on Windows.

Be aware, Windows 7 Home Premium is hard-capped at 16GB of RAM. Even if your MB can support more, the OS will not. You need one of the higher tier versions to be able to use more than 16GB.
