yeahhh if you choose OLED for mostly static work, use dark themes, enable the pixel refresh features the monitor offers, and hide the taskbar. burn in risk is real with static UI elmeents, so read teh warranty terms on burn in.

hmmm many very old installers are 16 bit programs, and 64 bit Windows cant run 16 bit code at all. The game itself is often 32 bit and runs fine; its just teh installer thats teh problem. fingers crossed 🤞

yeahhh you can sometimes open the installer or teh discs data files with 7 Zip and copy the game files manually, skipping the old setup program.

ok so RGB control apps are a common source of background CPU usage, startup delays and even stuttering. if you do use lights, pick one controller app and disable the others in Task Manager Startup apps. good luck man!

on Modern Standby systems, run powercfg /sleepstudy in an admin terminal and open the HTML report. it shows drain per session and which components kept the system active. fingers crossed 🤞

Before all that, create a restore point: Checkpoint Computer Description "before DDU" in an admin PowerShell, or via System Protection. Cheap insurance. fingers crossed 🤞
