Try them both and decide. Of course, I assume you mean a "functioning" version of both. I've got two home computers with Windows 10 Pro installed and two home computers with Windows 7. Others at the office are similar. The Windows 7 computers weren't supported for Windows 10, so they wouldn't have functioned correctly with Win10. They stayed at Win7. So in my case, BOTH is the answer as to which is "best".

Hope this helps.
