As simple as that, does windows 8 run dolphin?

I had a few problems and force to change over windows 7 to 8

I wanted to continue using dolphin, but I cant, even using compatibility
A little tutorial for using dolphin for windows 8, or a explain could do the job
Thanks in advance
Yes, Dolphin runs on Windows 8, you're probably just missing a critical file needed to run Dolphin.

Make sure you have the latest version of Visual C++ installed (2012 and 2013) x86 and x64
Make sure your DirectX is up to date by Googling and running DirectX Web Installer
Get the latest drivers for your i3 and HD graphics by Googling Intel Driver Update Utility.
Upgrade to Windows 8.1 (its free)

I think that would be enough information to fix it, thanks
Cool, let us know if it does
