Oh lord,
so I installed win8 (because its only 30 bucks) and was pleasantly surprissed that it did not mess with most of my stuff.
And then I noticed that I wasnt able to properly downsample anymore so I checked my drivers and saw that it got reverted back to the stock one.
(using amd and a TV I had to use custom drivers to downsample)
No big deal, so I went ahead and tried to install my custom drivers again but guess what windows 8 does
not allow you to install unsigned custom drivers...
In the end I managed to install them anyway but god was it a pain to figure out.
Here is the proces if in case somebody is interested:
Open cmd as admin and type:
shutdown.exe /r /o /f /t 00
this will restart your pc and give you the choice to go into troubleshooting, there you have to choose advanced-options and then choose startup-options.
Once you did all that you are given the option to restatrt again.
After doing that choose "7" to start windows without the protection against unsigned drivers.
After you did all that you can finally install custom display drivers....
WTF?
Were there actually that many people that ran into problems because of custom drivers that you have to make it that hard to install them?!?
