This wasn’t easy but finally, hardware acceleration for my laptop on Windows 8.
One machine left to downgrade.
Why would I go through pain to use Windows 8 in 2022? Well this year I’ve been using most desktop OSes pretty deeply and it turns out, I’m completely over updating constantly and losing my settings left and right, as if MY computer wasn’t mine at all. That, and bad performance showing up for no other reason but updates. Totally over and sick of this. Peace of mind is important.
8’s great as hell. There’s none snappier. I’ll install stand alone stuff, a bunch of great games that run perfectly fine on that hardware like Noita, Monkey Island or CS:GO, and run this laptop until it dies dies.
See y’all in 2032, easy.
