Is Windows 7 font rendering better than WIndows 10?

Hi everyone,
First post here.

I installed Windows 10 last week but just now I returned to Windows 7. There are some things I don't feel comfortable about Windows 10 just yet. (regarding privacy and compatibility). I'll give it some time until it 'mature' a little.

Now my question is about font rendering.
I use a regular LCD monitor 24" + nvidia geforce card. In Windows 7 fonts are sharp and neat.
Is only me or anybody else found font rendering in Windows 10 no as quite good as in Windows 7?

Its just you. The font rendering in Windows 10 is the same as it was in Windows 7 nothing has changed. The only thing that would affect the font rendering of Windows 10 is your settings.

when first time i boot to win10, i feel the font slight different to win7
the font family/type still same, but the size? is bit different, it feel more thin?
other than that i didnt find any different in term sharpness&neatness

No it is not just you.
Same experience here and I, too, got fed up with this and other bugs so I went back to win7 until microsoft gets around to fixing things.

There are two things going on here possibly that I am aware of, one is using an AMD apu, and there have been issues. The other is scaling on high DPI monitors and HDTV's. Here is a link that covers this.

In settings, under System/display/ you can slide the change app text etc slider up. Windows 10 should detect what is a reasonable range and flash "recommended." 100% is the norm but on high DPI displays a higher value is needed. adjusting the scaling up helps as well. Actually, it's a dramatic difference.

Thanks pumpkin.
I tried these DPI font scalling before. It kind messes up with the layout. As other windows elements won't follow the scale set (borders, menus, command buttons, sizes) it then makes things out of proportion. Setting that you'll have a large text inside small elements.
But i never tried that on w10. I'll do that on the next time I install it.

Thanks!

Hope it works. I would also go through the "clear type text" calibration which is also under advanced display settings. It can help with the fuzzies as well. (Before and after scaling tweaks)

Font rendering in W10 is DIFFERENT to that in W7. FACT. (I am using 3 x Dell 2214H monitors - 1920x1080 each)
1. W10 fonts are less black than W7
2. W10 does not use colour font anti-aliasing (smoothing), and definitely uses different factors in mono smoothing. Probably because of rotatable screens and the difference in effect because of the pixel geometry, or a push to go to 4K where te effect is much less obvious.
3. When dual booting W7 and W10 (ie all the same hardware), screen caps, magnification and photos of the same content displayed in both OS shows these effects clearly.

Will anything ever be done about it? I guess that's a no, given it is now so long from W10 introduction.

Surely, it should not be beyond the wits of MS to optimise rendering and smoothing for the specific orientation used?
And, not only that, why use greyer fonts on greyer backgrounds. Is that because it's easier to compute smoothing?
I am still holding out on the upgrade to W10 because it gives me eye strain. However, some dev tools are now not supporting W7. Maybe I have to buy 4k monitors. Progress, eh?

Correction for previous post...
W10 does use colour smoothing in certain places.
However, it appears to use a larger area, as does the mono smoothing.
There is probably a 'reason'. Driving higher monitor resolutions, perhaps?
