Thanks for replying! I am really hoping that BG3 will be ok for Windows 7, but I supposed I won't be playing Avowed. I get the feeling that Microsoft wants to force Windows 10 down the throats of Gamers. I can't be doing with all that random "updates" and "data collection" Next stop for me will be Linux and thank goodness there are loads of games out there that I still haven't got round to playing so Mr Gates can't get anywhere near my PC. But BG3 for me is a MUST HAVE! From what I have seen of it it will be very re-playable so that will be the next couple of years of my life right there. (I can only play evenings and weekends)
Stadia may be a solution for you and currently is free for 1 month. Downside is that may prevent you from switching to PC in the future (or you have to buy a second copy of BG3 for PC).
Since I plan to get a collector's edition in the future, I am going for Stadia now and upgrade my PC when the 1.0 version is released.
