This is very interesting.. why would they block windows 7 and keep 8.1? I don't think that 8.1 has anything (except dx 11.2) over windows 7 that would stop the game from running. I hate when companies do this

I actually found out by myself. I was doing something completely unrelated.

It is actually the first thing on this list.

I do understand and fully respect that. Do as you will. Could you use vm or something? Like I said, I unfortunately have no iso image of 8.0 and was curious to find out

Could I please ask @Jody Thornton a favor? Could you try this on Windows 8.0? I don't have any iso of this os on hand. Thanks!

Here is the tutorial

So in order to succesfully bypass iTunes os checks you need to do this: BEFORE YOU BEGIN! I only tried this on Windows 8.1 Fully updated up until september 2021 patches. I have no idea if this is going to work on Windows 7 too. Windows 7 works up until 12.11.3. Later versions require ntdll.dll and dxgi.dll from newer operating systems. Windows 8.0 works up until 12.11.3.17. Later versions do require you to use reshade's dxgi implementation. Download Reshade and rename Reshade64.dll to dxgi.dll. CREDITS TO : K4sum1 from https://eclipse.cx/ Windows 8.1 works without any problem. 1) Download iTunes from apple. 2) Extract the installer 3) Edit the main installer with orca (drop table LaunchCondition) 4) Install iTunes and all of its components 5) Do not launch! - Download this: https://github.com/hejmus/win10verhack/releases/tag/v0.1 6) Put these files in iTunes install folder 7) Open notepad and put this in: withdll.exe /d:win10verhack64.dll iTunes.exe 8) Save it as Launch.bat on your desktop (since iTunes is located in Program files and you would need Admin access) 9) Put launch.bat to the iTunes install folder and open it 10) Done! (Optional, put launch.bat as shortcut on your desktop)

Also the official latest iTunes version still supports my iPhone 12 pro on iOS 15

HOLY COW! I found a way to bypass it! proof: https://prnt.sc/1tdlc6c

Yes I got banned for making cod run on 8.1

Just compare these two screenshots of mine: https://prnt.sc/1tcg6o2 - firefox https://prnt.sc/1tcg5q2 - chrome What's up with the white bar at the top?

there are no kernel errors. they just f****** limited it to windows 10. no way around that (just yet)

unfortunately there is only one and Halohalo does not wan't to share how to bypass this stupid block.

Uhm, i5-4590 is definitely 8.1 compatible though.

I'm trying to help my friend with his old hp desktop pc, but I can't seem to upgrade his os to 8.1. I'm using official microsoft ISO. Anyone could help? http://prnt.sc/1r8s7wk -- rough translation Windows 8.1 could not be installed. Computer has been restored to previous state as it was before windows 8.1 install

yeah that's true just saying that sha-2 is already included

I've heard about this technology: https://web.dev/gpu/ and it seems to be only available to windows 10 only. Do you think that this is the final nail in the coffin?

Windows 8.0 already has native support for sha2 technology. No need for that then.

Please, can anyone confirm this? I tried on 3 different computers and 1 vm and the results are the same, the app just crashes. Thanks

You're joking right?

it does work under 8.1 with some workaround:

Since you have b450 you can use ryzen 5 3600 maybe? I upgraded to it from my ryzen 5 1600 and it was amazing upgrade. I’m running it at 4.5 ghz with 1.35 volts. Cooling is managed by be quiet cpu cooler (it was pretty cheap around 50 euro and it is amazing). I don’t know if you want higher core counts, but ryzen platform is pretty bad for overclockers. These chips rarely reach more than their stock frequency without seriously overkill voltages. My motherboard dates back to 2017 and it is still going strong. I love amd for their support and upgrade path. Meanwhile intel is busy forcing people to buy new boards for their "new" or shall we say new skylake cpus.

No, not at all, I know for a fact, that it is possible, but not with my pc. My gpu is probably uefi only and that is the culprit

My motherboard is asus prime b350-plus never succesfully installed vista on it though

well it could be the same issue as with beamng.drive. It could be using dx 11.1 which is not supported under windows vista
