This decision will prevent games like WoW, Starcraft 2, Diablo III, Hearthstone and Heroes of the Storm from running. Another reason to upgrade your version of Windows if you still have these old versions. 

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X,  Corsair Mp700 Pro M.2, 64GB Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5  X670E Steel Legend, MSI RTX 4090 Associate Code: H5U80QBH6BH0AXF. I am NOT an employee of EVGA

    10+ year old operating systems shouldn't be supported.
     
    Blizzard is the hero we need.

    I think it's odd how people will ask DX12 support then be upset at removal of older OS support. Glad to hear Blizzard is moving forward haha

    Kind of strange they held out this long... NVIDIA and AMD don't even offer Vista drivers for modern GPUs anymore. 


    Have water, will cool.
