Does tf2 run better/worse on Windows 10?

What OS do you currently have OP? If you're upgrading from Windows 7 or below note that in Windows 8 and 10 all windows go through Desktop Windows Manager which will add input lag into your game if you play tf2 in windowed mode. Playing in fullscreen doesn't have this problem though, so if you only play windowed be wary of this. On a lower end you might see a small fps drop because of all the clutter Windows 10 adds, but if you are low on FPS as it is I wouldn't recommend upgrading.

On my former computer when I upgraded from 7 I got a lot of mini stutters when i played tf2 at random times, there seems to be no solution and a few people have it. It got really annoying, however my new computer with Windows 10 doesn't have them.

I'm not sure why it would run better for anyone, maybe if upgrading from Windows 8.

Jason_HeyRuns better for me, 10 fps increase (average was 50 now 60) but i have the common issue that theres a 5 sec blackscreen when alt-tabing.

remove dxlevel from launch options (if u have that written there) that will fix the 5s blackscreen when alt-tabing
