Windows 8 is mostly Windows 7 with a new user interface, so I wouldn't think that change would make a whole lot of difference. Have you tried installing in compatibility mode?
Hello all.
I am having a real nightmare trying to play my computer games (some which are about 5 years old) on my computer which is running windows 8. If i just buy windows 7 will this fix my problem. The main problem is they just won't install on my computer and im pretty sure its because of the OS?
Thanks
