Windows Server 2016 vs Windows 10 (2)

[Rafael Mestdag]

I have been tweaking and observing Windows Server 2016's performance in comparison to all Windows from 7 to 10 and after a bit of tweaking, and taking into account the fact that server Windows versions come basically stripped out of the box, the general performance of my Windows Server 2016 is now amazing!

Things I have changed:

-I've messed a bit with the registry, shifting the performance towards gaming.

-I also disabled Windows Defender for good using a registry tweak

-Finally I've adjusted the Windows Server 2016 to allocate processor resources towards 'Programs' instead of its default setting which was 'Background Services'.

Of course, I couldn't forget to mention that Windows Server 2016 is way better when it comes to Internet speed and connectivity, not to mention realiability. Although I use wi-fi instead of direct cable connection, Server 2016 has a much stronger wi-fi signal than all other normal OS's.

After this I'd like for someone to try and convince me that Windows Server 2016 isn't, when it comes to general performance, much better than normal OS's including 10(after a few simple tweaks of course).

I call BS on the wifi strength. That's not software related.

I don't advise anyone else to ['mess a bit with the registry']

So... You've spend $600 for 10% (or less) dubious performance gain ive $100 Windows 10?

As for all this BS about "better reliability" - you're forgetting that all Windows'es share common code.

I smell something, and its not Christmas dinner.

"Server 2016 has a much stronger wi-fi signal than all other normal OS's."
The OS has nothing to do with it.

"I've messed a bit with the registry"
Treading in dangerous territory.

"I also disabled Windows Defender for good"
And what are you using instead?
