Windows 10 -- anybody upgrade?

Yes, Microsoft dropped Direct Draw support in Windows 8. Despite all the complaints (do a search), they have no interest in doing anything about it. There is a "software" option if you enable it in the registry, but seems it is incredibly slow.

I stuck to my word(sort of), now running Debian on my laptop as well as my server. Desktop is a gaming rig, and will stay on Windows 7 as long as I can.

Don't forget to delete GWX from your windows 7, and to turn off the telemetry.

3 Tools.

Make one Clean Windows 7 Install.

1. http://forum.oszone.net/thread-257198.html Updating Windows 7 without waiting for the lazy windows updates, it will won´t install all of them only 85% before the GWX. (Ignore the russian fórum it will install your native language just fine) no need to change anything this program will auto update without making anything.
