My point is the issue here is not the games not running because the computer is old specifically, it's the OS. Of course there's some bottlenecking but so far my newer graphics card has been making up for the otherwise older hardware (gtx 1070).
Another game that I haven't been able to play simply because it uses the windows store is Sea of thieves for example.
I run games like the latest Assassin's Creed releases, Detroit become human, etc with no issues (just a couple of the more demanding games I could think of but there's been a lot more). I think for the most recent one it was something with geo location or something similar (the Outriders newly released demo to be specific). So far I've had no issues running new releases of games, the issue with them not running on my PC has only been the specific game going out of its way to use a function only available on windows 10. Thank you.Ĭlick to expand.Hi, thanks for responding. And again I have no idea which of the two I'm supposed to focus on, I'm clueless.Ĭan somebody assist me like I'm 5? Do you think I can avoid updating the bios entirely and just go straight to win10 or is that even worse on an old machine? I am really scared as I cannot afford to lose this computer or replace it. Searching for Foxconn bios updates gives me unofficial sites or at least I don't know which is the official one and I have no idea what to do there, and the american megatrends website is also confusing me as to what I'm supposed to download. I ran the command prompt and used 'wmic baseboard get product' and 'wmic baseboard get manufacturer' which gives me the result Foxconn H67M-S/H67M-V/H67īut on system information I do not find this, instead I see BIOS Version/Date: American Megatrends Inc. Reading about upgrading to windows 10 it recommends to update your BIOS which I've never done and reading up on it sounds even riskier. I have some tech knowledge but I've never done anything like this by myself and I'm not familiar with BIOS. I haven't upgraded to windows 10 because windows 7 still runs great on my pc but most of all I am absolutely terrified something will go wrong or I'll make a mistake and I'll lose my computer. I use my computer for gaming and it's been just fine but there's been a couple of games that have made it so it's only possible to run them on windows 10 which makes me start to consider upgrading more and more. I am running windows 7 on a computer that runs well and is getting on in years (over 10 years old now but with upgraded graphics card and has been running new games fine).
