Funny, so I've installed windows on one rig, Win 10 Pro, especialy for Claymore 8 and my 480's and like 10 years go, Win freezes completely on a random basis

Just one of the many reasons serious miners prefer LINUX.

my windows 7 miners are very stable, i installed it in 2013 and cloned to multiple cheap 80gb sata hdd's for multiple mining rigs..still mining to this day.

I agree. All my miners and friends' miners are on Windows 7/8 or 10, with ZERO issues or instability.
IF properly setup, windows can be just as (if not) more stable than linux. It is much easier to setup than linux with better driver support and do nto need to use command prompts for any settings and changes.

The ONLY thing it has going for it are less resources use and cheaper (unless you get Windows bootleg off the net).

i believe resources are not an issue anymore, these are socket 775 rigs with quadcore cpu's, the motherboards and cpu's can be traced back to around ~year 2007 models. ... and it is only in 2016 when i upgraded them from 2gb ram to 4gb ram.

....and claymore always supported windows miners Wink
