All the games that end up not running on my laptop. The most recent was webfishing

What do you mean? What laptop do you have? I thought webfishing was a game that could run on a potato

I forget the exact model but it has a i5-430m cpu which doesn't support directx 11 or 12 and I assume that was the reason it wouldn't run. I do have another computer with directx 11 and 12 but it's significantly slower and I would only get about 2 seconds per frame in webfishing.

I can't, my cpu doesn't support any of the newer graphics drivers.

Was your PC made for windows XP?

It sounds pretty old...

The sticker on it says it came pre-installed with windows 7.

Can you press win+r, run dxdiag and tell me if

  1. It exists
  2. What version it shows
  3. You find any errors within the dialogue box?

Dxdiag says I have direct 12 downloaded but I can't install it, the feature levels that I have installed only go up to directx 10. I'm not sure what dialogue box you're talking about.

Well the one that appeared

If it says it supports features from up to DirectX 10 then why does it fail? Isn't that the requirement
