    Windows 8.1 ended support on January 10th 2023. They are some programs still working on this OS I see in this video.
    Happy New Year, Lights! 🥂🎉🙂

      @@qwerdsffdsIDK it is not working for me it is only available on Windows 7 not on Windows 8.1 or 8 so yeah that's why I gives an error when installing, and even Windows 10 and 11 sucks it doesn't let me focus on my work currently on Linux, I like Windows 8.1 because my old laptop had it and it's buttery smooth, and without my graphic card drivers I can't even run 120hz so yeah 😢😅
