travism21 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 i'm putting together a gaming desktop and i was going to install windows 8 pro on it, because it was free and i don't have an extra $100 for windows 7, i was wondering if i would have any compatibility problems for steam games like skyrim and new vegas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddie Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 I'd stay away from Windows 8 for the moment! I'd stay away from clueless people making clueless comments constantly on a product they don't have a clue about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nephilumos Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 All the games that work on Windows 7, in all likelihood work in Windows 8. That said, I've never had any problems with any of my 100+ games on Steam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
