| I'm still using Windows 7, and am afraid that I'll need to change very soon, because of the updates will finish from Microsoft. Mel, I know that, among others, GeeDee can help you to do this change. Did you make this update for free, or you had to pay for it? Please, I'd like to know. I wish you luck, and after, you teach me the better way to do. Thanks in advance. Cheers! | |

| Hi Ney, I followed the method here: https://computing.which.co.uk/hc/en-gb/articles/360009159719-How-to-upgrade-from-Windows-7-to-Windows-10-for-free It was easy to do and FREE so long as you have a legitimate copy of Windows 7 installed. After the download has finished make sure when selecting set up that you choose to update and keep all files and folders. If you do a clean install of Windows 10 it will wipe everything. Good luck | |

| Installed GTL (Steam version) on W10 for the first time (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950TI) in August 2018 without any problems. Was a big surprise . Can't find any instructions, only this thread over a racedepartment, which in fact is no installation guide: https://www.racedepartment.com/threads/gtl-on-windows-10.157480/ _________________ So long.

| I might need to do a fresh install instead of trying to get the current one to work I can get it to run now from the .exe but it'll only work in 800x600 mode and looks like something on a ZX Spectrum... | |

| Zee if GTL was a standalone version and not steam should not be too much of a problem.
Reinstall your graphics drivers to the latest version reboot then reinstall directx9c you will need to download a redistributable package from Microsoft delete your shortcuts to the game and reinstate them with new ones GTR2.EXE including the config.exe and set them with administrator privilages.
Say a little prayer | |

| IT WORKED! I made a new install on a different drive then copied the userdata and gamedata folders across and everything works as before. I had to alter the configuration settings and run in Windows XP service pack 3 compatibility and I now have to give permission for the prog to make changes everytime I run GTL but at least it starts now... If anything it looks a bit sharper in game now and seems to run smoother than before so hopefully I can now get back to finishing the Capris | |

Same for GTR2.

| @Zee: what disk are you using, a classic HDD or an SSD? Also, noticed any FPS improvement on Win10? _________________ Ferrari ... F1's soul since 1950

On Windows 7 gtl was installed on C drive which is a SSD and it used to stutter a bit in game. One thing I noticed was everytime there was an update on 7 the Nvidea drivers update part would never install. Even going to the Nvidea site and downloading the latest driver didn't work. On Windows 10 I installed gtl on E drive which is a normal HDD and it seems much sharper and smoother than before so I'm suspecting that it's properly updated the Nvidea graphics adapter now. I'm gonna try a race and see how it works with multiple cars on track. Another thing I've found: Gimp was taking ages to open and close while it searched for files and now it works in seconds so overall the windows 10 update seems a good thing | |

| Fingers crossed Ney !!! Maybe a bit off topic, but I upgraded my Linux Mint from 19.1 (TESSA) to 19.3 (TRICIA) in about 10 minutes last weekend while surfing the net. Never had any problem so far (fingers crossed too ). Okay this time I had to update the Nvidia drivers manually, but that wouldn't have been necessary. But in general updating & upgrading Linux is so much easier than doing the same under Windows. Unfortunately GTL does not run on Linux _________________ So long.

| Good luck Ney mate but don't worry, it's very straight forward updating to Windows 10 Speaking of which I ran an ai race at Oulton Park with 32 cars and gtl still stutters but it's an improvement over windows 7. I'm sure the graphics adapter is the biggest problem though as it's built in and I gather they're not the best at games. Good job I'm a builder not a driver these days | |

| For my part I only checked the "Run as administrator" checkbox (both in GTL.EXE and GTLCONFIG.EXE properties), and now it works !

Windows 10 working to perfection. Very easy installation, with everything working OK with none fixes necessary to do. My games opening in normal way with no problems. Much easier and faster than I thought it would be. Once more, thank you to Mel / Zee for the link, that was magic. Thanks to all for your support. One for all and all for one, always and forever! I upgraded from W7 to W10 as well. Here's the list of my games that perfectly work (certain with "Run as administrator" and Windows 8 compatibility parameters) : - GT Legends - GTR2 - Dirt Rally - Test Drive Unlimited 2 - American Truck Simulator Other games that work : - Sniper Elite 4 - IL2 Sturmovik 1946 - Silent Hunter III - Silent Hunter IV - Far Cry Primal The only game that didn't work is The Saboteur (missing .DLL), I think it just needs a complete reinstallation.

Some people who recently installed Windows 10 are saying it works without any problems straight after installing. | |
