I have an old laptop from 2013. With 6gb ddr3 ram. Installed windows 10 but unfortunately due to lack of memory many apps/games crash or don't even launch. I reverted back to windows 8.1.

My question as suggested in the title, is there a work around to run software that is designed for windows 10 on a windows 8 PC?

    No, There isn’t software must be compiled to support older versions of Windows like Windows 8

    And 6GB RAM is plenty for Windows 10. The problem, if any, is NOT the amount of RAM.

  • Yeah that's true. Windows 10 runs okay. But when I start an app that requires lots of resources, I get error messages related primarily to RAM. Thanks for the reply

  • It would be possible with some virtualization, but the answer is no since you have lower hardware capacities. I guess you may have the same problem if you installed a minimal OS like Lubuntu.
