Hi i'm debating whether to go with Windows 8.1 or stay with Windows 7, and the main thing that concerns me about it is if the compability with eroge, especially older eroge is just as good as with windows 7, that is why i posted here, if its worse please specify some examples or why.
Right of the bat i have one request though: PLEASE DO NOT SUGGEST WINDOWS 10! Same for Linux Btw... (i am considering in the far away future, the posibility of linux plus a hardware accelerated/passthrough VM, but that is a story for another time when i'll actually have that much time to invest in such a huge change)
If your curious why i want nothing to do with windows 10:
-its because of some hardware incompatibilities (like my soundcard and a USB 3.0 expansion card).
-Incompatiblity with some things i use
-general issues and instability due to updates.
And for those curious why i want to install windows 8.1 despite some of its irregularities (like the bad design and focus on apps), its because of:
-full DX 11 features (some of the latest DX 11 instruction sets/updates are missing from windows 7, that's why some emulators like dolphin & PCSX2 don't work with the DX GPU plugin on 7)
-despite its bad design, performance wise and stability wise i do feel like its a step up from windows 7.
Thank you in advance!
