I would recommend that you try and explain the security implications 0.o

x64, and chapters 3 and 4 are the ones I wanna play since I've already beaten chapters 1 and 2 that released before Windows 8.1's EOL

But wait @Uiaad my PC doesnt have Directx 12 either

It sounds like you're missing some sort of dependency. Now, do you mean your PC doesn't support DirectX 12, or it's just not installed? If it's the former, then you're SOL. If it's the latter, then just install it

@Uiaad I need to install Windows 10 in order to have Directx 12

Oh yeah ... forgot about that ... but then ... how the fudge was I running it? :/

This may work

I didn't do this and didn't actually pay attention to the reqs and have no idea how my copy worked :.

Probably bc you were using a virtual machine on Windows 10, instead of an actual Windows 8.1 PC

Nope, a VM will only run off what's installed and has the same limitations as the OS ( and I'm running Windows 11 haha I seem to be the only one who likes it :/ tho I did had to develop windows chainsaw to cut out the crap )

For what did I deserve ☹️ reactions? I'm just frustrated, not aggressive. My goal is helping and your family PC will very much gain usability from an SSD and Windows 10.
I know that problem well. When we got our first PC at the beginning of the 1990s my father disallowed pretty much everything and did not use the PC himself.

Official requirements sometimes aren't true. Again, I can't try myself because Deltarune is insanely expensive and supporting Steam is a big no-no.

@KleinesSinchen that would be me misclicking and not noticing ... allow me to fix that haha ... also didn't buy Deltarune haha

Let's say I'm not morally flexible enough for illegal ways of obtaining software in most cases.
Especially true for indie devs.

Well, the thing is, I had (and still have) absolutely no intention of ever playing Deltarune, so either way, they lost nothing from me; it was downloaded purely for testing
