Yeah... Modern hardware w/ Windows 7 doesn't mix well. Only driver I am missing is my well graphics driver. I have a Ryzen 5 with the Radeon vega graphics and it definetly does support WDDM because it runs windows 10 and 11. To be super specific, this is my computer.

I have a 2 year old computer that is running Windows 10. I made a new partition to dual boot Windows 11 about a year ago, installed Win11, tried it for a few days, and removed it because it was extremely slow. I figured I would give it another try a few weeks ago. It would install, and put...

Howdy! I want to create a robust system to support Windows XP and later. I want to start some old projects like emulation and other old stuff, so I will probably use XP, 7, and 11 on three different partitions. I want to use a Mini ITX, if possible, or a Micro ATX motherboard. As a CPU and...

I have been trying for several days to get a just-installed W10 22H2 system to act right. The OS will only boot from BIOS "UEFI <disk> windows boot mgr". I have gone through 6 or 7 YT vids on trying to fix one thing or another. So I re-installed 22H2. For some reason, there's no reserved...

I am looking to recommend an inexpensive all-in-one PC for purchase to one of my clients. Ideally, it would be easy to upgrade both storage and RAM, in order to keep up with increasing OS demands over the next few years. I came across the Link Removed, but there were some nasty 1-star reviews...
