[QUOTE="Arnox, post: 13141, member: 1"] Just a minute ago, I asked /r/HomeServer if it was possible to run Windows Server 2012 R2 drivers on Windows 8.1. Instead of a helpful answer, I got demands that I need to switch over to Windows 10 and that I was being stupid. After getting super pissed, I decided to test it myself. So I shut down my PC and removed my Titan Xp to put in my old but trusty Quadro RTX 4000, used Display Driver Uninstaller to get rid of any remnants of the old Nvidia Titan driver, then opened the Server 2012 R2 drivers and see if it would let me use them. And lo and behold, it did! Worked perfectly fine. No "hacky workarounds" needed. So, in summary, at very least on the Turing architecture and very probably lower, Windows Server drivers can be used in place of regular drivers on regular Windows. And as for /r/HomeServer, regardless of how this experiment would have turned out, fuck off for being unhelpful and illiterate, even when I posted a huge list of reasons why Windows 10 was not adequate, and making me waste an hour of my life to manually get an answer that you guys could have easily given. I don't need further advertisements for Microsoft's shitty OS. Thanks. [ATTACH type="full" width="231px" alt="fuckyou.PNG"]100[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
