Except you can install wufuc and continue using windows update (no microsoft catalog updates, no manual search)

I don't have any opinion on this, but a little side note. I own a little intel compute stick with intel Atom and 2gb of ram. I once was downloading 12gb file from mega with chrome and it was just fine. I don't think that it is really that resource heavy, but I could be wrong.

Sounds interesting

Yeah, I'l look for the files tomorrow. Since nvidia installer does not punish windows 7 or 8.1 I used nvidia installer instead of inf installation method. I want geforce experience. Btw if you find the driver for usb-c for nvidia let me know. I have my ryzen desktop with rtx 2060 on windows 8.1 also, but I could not get the usb-c driver to work. https://prnt.sc/vvdv8i Btw I only now noticed that you're from the czech republic

No, I mean test mode. You can enter to that mode entering this to CMD: bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON. This allows you to install unsigned drivers. I did not make any online thread, because I was really unsuccessful and not satisfied with the results. Like I said, my laptop came with intel cpu WITHOUT integrated gpu. the system only had rtx 2060 for everything. Since my nvidia installer ran and "succesfully" finished driver installation it also installed nvidia usb drivers (not the type c policy controller, but it is unnecessary to have it since it only allows for VR).

My hardware id was 1F11. Driver version was 417.71 (at least I hope so, I dont really remember if I used this exact one when testing, because I was modding like 10 driver versions) Windows was booted in test mode. My cpu was i5-9300HF (it did not include integrated graphics). every single driver installed just fine. Nvme, usb 3.0.. Few games did not start at all. For example minecraft crashed with unsupported shader model. Gta v launched and worked normally, until you entered full screen mode. I got only about 50-60 frames on normal settings, so something was not functioning correctly. Windows also said in eventvwr, that gpu driver stopped responding, but was succesfully recovered (this is rough translation from czech language). Edit: and remember this was Windows 8.1. I have not tested windows 7, but I suppose it will be simmilar if not completely same.

I was messing with drivers for rtx 2060 mobile on windows 8.1 back in june. I managed to get them installed, but as soon as You enter fullscreen app, whole operating system crashes. I think 2060 on laptops are dead end for older operating systems. I did my best

I've got for really cheap Dell Latitude e7250 with these specs: https://prnt.sc/vv6gna Intel hd 5500 will probably be the biggest issue I've installed Windows 8.1, but I used dualboot with Vista on my previous laptop (I still have it) with 3rd gen intel cpu. I know about haswell+ bugs, but did extended kernel help? Thanks for any info. I would like to use Vista on this laptop, because the previous one has really bad battery, broken hdd cage and it is really heavy.

But I succesfully ran roblox in virtual machine? Are you sure, that vmprotect is active?

Yes, they work, but they offer no support at all. Current versions of Audacity are not supported on Windows 7, They may well run - but we can no longer offer support for issues that occur when using Audacity on Windows 7.

Well I haven't figured out how to do that tbh.

After that your speed will lower, or?

Ok that is really nice. 120 mb down is more than enough for me, but upload speed sucks. Your internet is awesome though

Now that I think about that I only had issues with amd ryzen. 1st system that got destroyed was: AMD Ryzen 3 1200 on Windows 7 Second was: AMD ryzen 7 3700x on Windows 8.1 and mine computer running AMD ryzen 5 1600. Driver booster installed windows 10 drivers on Windows 7 and 8.1 and made them broken. For some reason system restore did nothing.

Well then I suggest to anyone looking for drivers to update them themselves. Driver booster actually kinda destroyed few of my windows installation. It absolutely does not care if it is installing chipset driver made for windows 10 on Windows 8.1. Yeah well sorry about that, whenever I hear about this "program" I get really mad. I just try to warn people that it can damage their operating system. One computer was left unbootable, because it replaced acpi driver.

Definitely DO NOT! SDI is far superior and it DOESN’T INSTALL INCOMPATIBLE DRIVERS! I’m speaking from experience.

I definitely hope so. It was not able to even launch and now it does. I just have to find someone who is using Amd gpu and maybe volunteer who is using Windows 8.0 to test few things.

I edited this to slowly update this list with working games. My tested games: Call of Duty Modern Warfare - Has rendering issues (as of vk3d version 2.1, the game renders half properly, but crashes on startup) Cyberpunk 2077 - Devs says that the game should work properly only on amd hardware, but in my case rtx 2060 runs the game just ok. Every 2 hours the game freezes (aprox.)

Wow that's expensive. Is that without any data cap? (here we don't have any) I think it is illegal in europe to have data caps on home connection.

I was wondering how much you guys pay in other countries. I live in the Czech republic and I pay around 30 dollars for 120 down and 12 up. It is really stable, but since I do not live in big city like Prague this is the absolute best I can get here. https://prnt.sc/vp52nn

Actually no, Chrome scores the same in the test. https://prnt.sc/vo7789 something is not quite right.

That is really low. Here is example of edge chromium running on 8.1: https://prnt.sc/vo2fo5

Well I gotta say, windows 10 is not only bad. It works, but needs heavy modification to remove some stuff. I don’t like personally, that someone is saying, that on higher end pcs it still laggs. It does not and it works honestly normally, but windows update, telemetry, defender and UWP alongside microsoft policies makes it unusable

You can sync iPhone 12 on ios 14.1 with itunes 12.10.10, but when you update to ios 14.2.1 it is game over
