But… carefully skimming through pages of drivers was the best part of installing older versions of Windows.

The newer ones too. Online Microsoft drivers are not always the ones you actually want to run.

I’ve only seen that happen with AMD cards from an 8yo laptop, where the Microsoft provided driver somehow lacked OpenGL support. And my desktop’s sound driver, where only the older driver supports my setup. But those are the only two cases that come to mind since Win8 came out

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
