its almost 2018 time to update from windows 7 which lacks DX12 and driver support for X299, windows 7 is 8 years old.
The are no lack of driver support for X299 in Windows 7. All drivers are published from Intel and ASUS especially designed for Windows 7.
The are very poor support and a very litlle of programs, less than 20, does support DirectX 12. Simply becase Microsoft not develop it to Windows 7 and Windows 8.x developers has no interest about it. Also with Windows 10, DirectX 12 has very little advantage today over Windows 7 and DirectX 11. I don't know any program, except a few games, that uses DirectX 12.
Windows 10 is a mobile, cloud, ads and telemetry operating system with a very, very, very ugly user interface, an unseable "Start Menu", and lack of a big number of options and customizations that Windows 7 and older Windows versions has.
- Lack of important network, ethernet and Wi-Fi options
- No option to create a Wi-Fi access point.
- No options to customize desktop, windows borders, color, fonts, icon spacing, and more options.
- No option to customize "Start Menu", to put files or links to it, to drag and drop, or to simply order All Programs within folders and with my personal order, not alphabetically.
- Removed options to configure Shadow Copies/Previous Versions.
- Removed desktop gadgets.
- Removed control for Windows Update.
- Installing apps automatically without my consent and my permission.
- Can't disable Telemetry.
- Showing ads in Start Menu, Notifications, File Explorer, Lock Screen, etc.
- Remove important programs and replace with mobile and very limited, slowly and ugly UWP apps, like Calculator, Photo Viewer, Win32 Games, Media Center, Sticky Notes.
- No option to disable or remove Cortana, only an option to hide.
- No option to remove Windows Store, Edge, and more unuseable apps.
- With every update all default settings goes away and all unistalled apps goes installed again.
In Windows 7 the user has the control of the operating system.
In Windows 10 Microsoft has the control of the operating system allowing to download any personal or confidential file from my computer.
Windows 7 is today, the last Windows Desktop operating system.
Windows 10 is a mobile/tablet OS the has no sense on a desktop.
Windows 10 is not an option for any serious company today.
This is the reason of why Windows 7 has the more market share today.
