Question Work-around for AMD/XFX Negligence?

[rippedoffbyxfxnamd]

I own an RX 560 (4g) XFX AMD graphics card and have windows 8.1 as my operating system. Even though the RX 560 box clearly states that Windows 8 is supported, to my dismay I discovered it is not. I called XFX and their tech support laughed. I contacted AMD and they chose not to respond. I included the attachment of a photo of the box that indicates Windows 8 is supported--but AMD and XFX remains indifferent. At the moment, I cannot afford another operating system. Is there any one out there who can provide a work-around so I can at the very least get dual monitors working? I tried legacy drivers for the RX 460, windows 7 and 10 drivers and none work so far. Any work around or link would be greatly appreciated.

Odd the drivers for the rx460 should work as the 560 and 460 are pretty much the same GPU. Another possibility is upgrading to Win 10. While they don't advertise it the free upgrade still works.

To add to this, they will accept the Key from another OS, in your case, Windows 8.

i admit that i haven't stay on top of tech news any longer but i think i few months back i read about AMD to cease the support on windows 8 (not sure about 8.1) because of low market share on that operating system. but they will still continue to support windows 7.
