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

???????????????? Oh noooo. Is there any workaround? I rely on itunes

As much as I would love to see extended kernel for 8.1. It will be hard. Windows 8.1 will not boot no matter what with custom non microsoft signed dll

Yeah this issue is the same on windows 8.1 https://prnt.sc/vmtnj4

Yeah at first I installed Windows 10 and oh boy. I absolutely HATE when operating system is doing something I did not asked it to do (like forcing Windows defender down my throat..) Windows defender consumed 2-3gb of my ram, constantly crashed vmware, because it was checking the virtual machine harddrive. Then I disabled it, but next windows update enabled it again. I disabled Windows update via the service. Windows somehow enabled the service again. I downloaded winaero tweaker and finally diabled it. windows then worked for like a month. Then nvidia told me that drivers are no longer compatible with this build of windows 10. I updated to then newest 1709 and windows ENABLED DEFENDER AGAIN!!!! IT did corrupt my work vm and that was the point I decided to install Windows 8.1. Since december 2017 my Windows 8.1 copy is running reliable, fast and nothing has gone wild. Windows update has toggle for manual search and install, window defender can be turned on/off and the UI looks way better than Windows 10 crap. I never fully understood why users agreed with such bul*****. Windows 8.1 was hated for metro, but Windows 10 is 900% worse and nobody cares

No worries. I have not tried, but my guess is that it would not work at all. Rtx 2060 is out of question. Even the 1050 would not work properly with vista due to lack of driver support. I have absolutely no idea how ryzen works with vista, but I use NVME ssd and that would be a problem. Windows 7 works, but got me like 3-4 hours just to set it up (had to use ps/2 keyboard and mouse). Actually now I wonder, would the windows 7 driver for NVME work on vista @win32?

Actually I built it in 2017. I only upgraded my gpu from gtx 1050Ti.

I too used it as my daily driver, but I use adobe photoshop for my work and Vista just could not serve me. Even if Vista is able to open new version of photoshop, the hardware is too weak for any real work. My daily driver is now: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 32gb ram DDR4-3200 RTX2060 Windows 8.1 Pro

I got the laptop in august 2018 as refurbished one. I bought it just for Vista though

it is doable, but super hardcore. Up to intel 8th gen or any amd ryzen. With intel you need to provide sata driver for windows 8 install. Amd is easier. https://www.win-raid.com/t5648f52-Solution-Win-Win-x-Ryzen-APU-Video-driver-Update-Vulkan-OpenCL-API-support.html

Don’t know about 4.8, but 4.7.2 gave me no issues. But to be honest, apart from share x and handbrake, I don’t use many of .net apps. Does that mean, that 4.8 even with extended kernel is sort of useless on vista?

I cannot care less about Microsoft’s statement.If you rely on official support, then Vista is almost dead in modern world. Thanks to @win32 and his extended kernel, Vista is more than usable nowadays. My point is, that it is a long time, since someone here on msfn (sorry forgot who it was) discovered, how to install .net 4.6.2 and up. Nobody reported any issues. My point is, that you’re the first one, I don’t have to proof something what you can just look up here on msfn. Oh and btw in 2019 I used Vista exclusively as my main os for 3 whole months. with .net 4.7.2. You should definitely try newer .net than 4.5 (Some games do actually require it too, but I only heard about unity games).

Handbrake and musicbee do require it. Anyways why wouldn't you use the newest possible version? it is just future proofing. Edit: I forgot sharex I would like to see some proof. Nobody here have had mentioned it. I have experienced a ton of issues with vista, but never with .net

I installed .net 4.6.1 on multiple machines without issues. 4.7.2 works also without any issues. Maybe this was isolated issue?

Cinebench r23 "only supports" Windows 10. I can't get the installer to extract just so I can try if it will run on Windows 8.1 or not. Can someone try? I hate these kinds of blocks https://prnt.sc/vktz0f - the error on this screen translates to "An error has occurred. This software can only run on Windows 10 64bit or newer" EDIT: I have found extracted version of it. It works and has no os block. Thankfully

Ouch that is really slow for that poor ryzen.
