Windows 8.1 (x86) or Windows 10 (x86) for Intel Compute Stick - BenzilLobo - 2020-07-24
Hi! I own a rather old Intel Compute Stick with only 2GB of ram and an Intel Atom Z3735F. When I bought it, it came with Win 8.1 (x86) preinstalled but after 3 or so years of use, I decided it needs a fresh reinstall because it's become laggy.
I only use it for movie streaming (i.e Netflix, HBO GO) and surfing the web.
My question is, should I upgrade to Win 10 or reinstall 8.1? The biggest advantage to Win 10 would be the ability to stream in 1080p and higher (Netflix) using the Microsoft Store app, but I don't want it to slow down my computer too much.

Thread moved to hardware, at least for now.
