Hi guys do u know if there is a workaround to somehow run a program on win8 that is for win10 only?
Thanks in advance!

What program is it?
Did the author/publisher specifically state Win 10 only?
What happened when you tried it?

You can try compatibility mode. The vast, vast majority of programs that run on Windows 8 run on Windows 10 because there weren't any major architectural changes in the interim.

Could give a better answer if you told us what this software was.

I'm trying to run "Intel_LAN(v12.18.9.7w)" it's the LAN driver for "z390m pro4 asrock" and when I try to run it, it says it can't run on this version of windows (8), so I wonder, is there a way we can manipulate that? 😕

Hi, sorry for the delayed response, but here is what I've got after I tried this:

Seeing as the support page for that board shows ONLY Intel LAN adapters...don't know what else to say.
