WINDOWS 10 Upgrade Better Games Compatibility Than Clean Install.
All on the same hardware with the latest November version of Win10
I've been trying assorted games on a fresh clean install of Windows 10 64bit
Pro.
Installed ALL the Visual C++ etc. .
I find a number of games will not start at all .
I know what I'm doing & have checked DLLs - compatibility settings Registry
settings. Etc.
I get most old & new Games working but a few give error;
"the application was unable to start correctly 0xc000007b"
Borderlands 2 & Borderlands Pre-Sequel also Darksiders II.
I see other people with same issue - but not every body ??
I had a new clean install Of Windows 7 Ultimate with my settings set
& just a few basic bits installed intending to move to that as my
usual Win 7 install is veeeery old & bit cranky.
But I had not got around to that move.
So I've put a Windows 10 Upgrade on that & find those games do work.
Loooong (sigh!) story short I find this Upgraded Win 7 to Windows 10 better
compatibility
e.g. Windows Live Mail .
