Latest catalyst without Windows 8.1

[cmsbfent]

Hey folks

Think I already know the answer is a big no, but is there a way yet of upgrading to the latest catalyst drivers if I'm not on windows 8.1?

Still haven't worked out how to upgrade from 8.0 as it's a corporate edition or something worded close to that so the store and upgrades don't work.

Cheers

Hello cmsbfent, try this.

Download the 14.7 beta drivers. Run the installer, but stop and cancel the process once it has finished extracting the driver files to your C: drive and the install manager launches.

Go to C:/AMD folder and enter the 14.7 beta driver folder.

Right click the setup.exe file and select properties. Then go to the compatibility tab, select and apply Windows 7 as in the screenshot below.

Now try to install the drivers. (make sure you've fully uninstalled the old drivers first)

I'll give it a go now and let you know how it goes : )

Thanks

Hmmmm, that seemed surprisingly pain free : )

I'm sure I read that it was pretty much not possible without the upgrade. Maybe not

Ah well, myself and my three 290s thank you sir. That's some good repping ; )
