There are tons of differences between Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. Windows 8 has a much organized copy paste mechanism compared to its predecessor. For example you can now see multiple copy processes in one dialogue box. You can chose which copy process to proceed with and which one to pause. Windows 8 is much faster than 7 at the startup.
