gizmo666 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 But recent tests have shown that in a graphics heavy environment such as gaming, video editing etc, that windows 8 actually preforms worse than windows 7. very true i noticed that with windows 8 framerate is slower when gaming but i must say windows 8 is not for me i'll be staying with windows 7 ultimate for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ttaskmaster Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Google is your friend, Foams... To run all 16bit Windows installers and programs on Windows 7 64bit you will need to install a 32bit version of Windows as a guest OS in something like MS Virtual PC, Vmware, VirtualBox, Parallels, etc. You might also have success with DOSBox or OpenGlide. D-Fend Reloaded is possibly the easiest to use and includes DOSBox already installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
