I was interested in Windows 7 because I'm unsure if Windows 8+ will run SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition.

I'm pretty sure Windows 8 will run it.

@announcer

SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition is from 2003 and I've heard a lot of people having problems with it on Windows 7.

So I'm assuming Windows 8+ will have even more problems.

8.1. Then run it in compatibility.

It doesn't have the Windows 7 style start button, but it can be added with third party software.

Windows 8, unless custom built, isn't good for gaming.
If you want a good Windows 8 gaming PC, get a good amount of RAM, a good graphics card, and at least 1 or 2 TB of data on your HDD, or with an external hard drive.

8.1 is Microsoft 2 cent attempt at making Windows 8 look like Windows 7. You're better off installing a re-skin for Windows 8 if you want it to look like Windows 7.

Do NOT use Vista if you know what's best for you.

I was joking when I said Vista.

I've used it before and it has a decent interface.

Do not use Vista unless you need a temporary fix.

It looks nice, but it's a pig in terms of resource usage.

And no
No Vista
Vista sucks. It's for plebs, like XP is.
Only good thing I remember about XP is Pinball.

I'll probably stick with Windows 7.

I hope it can run Need For Speed Underground 2 as well.
