July 30, 201015 yr I read in PC Magazine that unless you need the more business oriented features of W7 64 Pro or Ultimate, you are better off with W7 64 Home Premium for personal use and gaming. In other words if you don't use the business apps you are wasting your money if you buy Pro or Ultimate. Does Pro or Ultimate provide any increased benefit for running FSX (or video processing) over Home Premium? My new FSX pc will be offline and not used for anything but FSX and video making. No office apps installed. Comments appreciated! Thanks.Bruce
July 30, 201015 yr What about other games? Does it have any effect on other PC games such as CoD, BF etc
July 30, 201015 yr It's the same OS but with some extra features. Any game/program should perform exactly the same on any W7 edition
