Don't get me wrong, but are you reinstalling your pc every day? If you did your dualboot correctly, then there is no reason why vista would not login..

Please take the little ammount of effort to check if anyone hasn't already mentioned it. Also there is a workaround.

The cross button is being used in remote desktop connection when you want to close the connection

I did and microphone is not being detected. I only got it working once. Also it crashes when you try to screenshare

They even didn't bother to update it yet.

Right now it is unclear if that will actually even be possible. They are switching to microsoft accounts. Every launcher will get updated (possibly leaving xp and vista unsupported). Lunar Client is probably the last big launcher still supporting xp and vista. This may come to an end though. No longer They stopped recently.

Sorry for going off topic, but how did you managed to boot windows xp on ryzen?? I can't even boot to vista.. it bluescreens immediately.

Also if you play any modern game it is the only option. Pubg, COD, Rocket league, cyberpunk heck even GTA V requires at least 360.xx cause the older ones caused black stripes on characters. Having the latest one is necessary for playing modern titles

Now that you mentioned it, I realized that I don't use any old software. My oldest installed program is fraps from 2013. Only my games are older than that

only wddm 1.1 drivers are available. Right now there is no way to make this work

Greetings, I need to find a way to disable dwm before launching games using d3d12on7 I only know the bruteforce way (renaming the file using unlocker and then restarting the whole os) that way sucks because you need to tamper with system files and requires two restarts.

uhm why would you irritate anyone? This topic is intended for these types of discussions..

You already got it. Windows 7 driver includes windows 8 and 8.1. Nvidia packaged them together. You can check it for yourself windows 7 driver includes nt 6.2 and nt 6.3 section

windows 8.1 driver is not absent. It is just not listed. They are still making wddm 1.3 drivers for windows 8.1 but just quietly for some unknown reasons..

Alright I've calm down. They acknowledge that there is known issue and the driver has been temporarily disabled for download. [Windows 7] 461.72 driver fails to load with Device Manager error Code 52 [3266398]

Nvidia did not relase any new drivers for windows 7. rtx 3060 is therefore unsupported even on windows 7 wtf???

What script are you talking about? I would more than happily try it on my 8.1 system.

But why? I would totally pay you for driver for rtx 30xx series for windows 8.1

I'm happy to report that I was able to install Windows 8.1 on b550 with ryzen 5 5600x with no problem at all. No drivers are missing. You can just download the windows 10 ones and manually point to the inf files. Windows 8.0 on the other hand gave me bsod some kernel check exception (don't know exactly atm). Modded drivers made for windows 7 are not working either for me but if anyone knows solution please, tell me. Windows 7 needs modified driver but no problem as well. Seems like 8.1 will only have troubles with gpus but not with motherboards and cpus.

how does it only affect vista though? it loads fine on 7 even though it is windows 10 dll?

Actually if you are able to find kabylake chipset then there are drivers for 7/8/8.1. It is just not "officially" supported.

here is my device manager: https://prnt.sc/yepa6c Aside from the fingerprint driver (there is modding group working on it) everything is installed. The uhd 620 does not have official driver but I found some folks modding the kabylake one.

Actually there is a way to get intel hd 505 working under windows 7 and 8. I'll have a look and pm you the link to the article I used to get uhd 620 working.

How many tabs do you have open? I never exceeded 9gb with 25 tabs.

Hi, I wanted to share my experience of running Windows 8.1 on Dell inspiron 15 3567 with 8th gen i3. I honestly did not expect this but after 40 hours of searching for all drivers, the system works amazingly well. Compared to Windows 10 the battery last around 6-7 hours compared to just 4. It also is more snappy. Even though there is no official support and no official drivers, the laptop is rock solid. Never had any bluescreen, nothing. I'm just wondering how windows 10 can be possibly worse when it has all the support (from dell, intel etc..). Ram usage is also lower on 8.1. Came from 3.7gb to just 1.6 gb. Btw that 3.7gb figure was taken from clean install of windows 10 (no preinstalled dell bloatware). Also I can set display brightness independently (like when the computer is on charger or running from battery). That did not work on Windows 10. On Windows 8.1 there is no random "Fan ramp up" when the computer is running idle or playing videos. I tried windows 7 but unfortunately dell locked windows 7 in bios. It actually says that windows 7 is not supported on this device and bios prevented it from booting (very strange in my opinion). I have picture of this behavior if anyone is interested. Windows 8.1 is running on this device since november 2020 btw.
