I've been thinking of upgrading to Windows 10 and was wondering does tf2 run better/worse on that OS.

My experience has been pretty much the same, but I've heard of stuttering issues in tf2 with windows 10, and advice would be to do a clean install rather than upgrading from your current OS.

I upgraded to win 10 with almost no change in performance, however some of my registry edits/hacks were causing some major problems with core windows functionality. I did a clean install and my overall performance was significantly better, even after reimplementation of my prefered settings.

Mostly context menu stuff to streamline my work. I use GNU/Linux a lot so I like a certain amount of control over my system that microsoft advises against. Please DON'T do anything with your registry unless you are fine with potentially causing permanent damage to your computer.

How to Geek even reading this article and thinking about the registry will make your computer melt, and we’re not responsible if you break stuff, which… you will.

Ohhh. I will try this been having the microstutters and wondering why they were happening.

I didn't notice a change because it was still noticeably crappy on my 10 year old processor. I went back to win8 for a while when I got my upgrade and tried win10 as well. Win10 gave me 5 more frames than win8.

CPU: i5-4590
GPU: GeForce GT 630

I've been considering upgrading hoping for a bit of an fps increase because I've been dipping below 144 during midfights. Seems like I might as well continue with my current OS

i advise you to disable some win10 features to gain the max performance (otherwise you might get even less fps in tf2). you could even disable hyperthreading (or disable just few cores for tf2) to get the highest (+ a stable) cpu-freq while playing it

Wasn't tf2 optimized for windows vista? I want to see someone run that on a mid ranged machine (at least an i5 processor and above) and see what happens

If your thinking about upgrading do a clean install of it after or you will run into problems down the road. Sometimes the upgrade can leave programs not working etc. For instructions on doing a clean install of windows follow the guide I made here
Do note that this will WIPE your data and programs so BACKUP your stuff

Open device manager and check for updates to your video driver. A lot of times when upgrading, it gets uninstalled and replaced with microsoft's generic driver, which would probably be why your fps died

I had to go to windows 10 again, I have no performance issues anymore, but the start button didnt work so I had to fix that.
