Windows 8.1 is better and more stable than 7. It can handle programmes difficult for Win7. Win8 can run ETABS (Ver 9.7, 13, 15), Sap2000 (Ver 16, 17) ,SAFE (12, 14), and Abaqus latest version (6.14-1). Am presently using Win8.1 with no regrets. Most Win 8.1 PCs come on 64bit architecture enabling faster computing.
