March 13, 20197 yr DX12 is being ported to Win7. Yes, only one game now but I think in the near future it will be everywhere -- see https://www.tomshardware.com/news/microsoft-backtracks-on-directx12-windows7,38800.html Gigabyte x670 Aorus Elite AX MB; AMD 7800X3D CPU; Deepcool LT520 AIO Cooler; 64 Gb G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO DDR5 6000; Win11 Pro; P3D V5.4; 1 Samsung 990 2Tb NVMe SSD: 1 Crucial 4Tb MX500 SATA SSD; 1 Samsung 860 1Tb SSD; Gigabyte Aorus Extreme 1080ti 11Gb VRAM; Toshiba 43" LED TV @ 4k; Honeycomb Bravo.
March 13, 20197 yr It's a natural pattern. Getting people off Windows 98 took many years. FSX is still a good example.

March 14, 20197 yr Running windows 7 after next year is up to the user nothing to stop them, the only issue that may come up in future is the hardware manufactures are unlikely to make there products backward compatible for software that they don't need, it`s a bit like flight sim why have they dropped windows XP support, because of progress and what new hardware is capable of otherwise we would stand still. And it`s mainly the corporate users that are slow to update. most home PCs are now on windows 10 and growing according to the latest. Raymond Fry.
