Try downloading and installing the SDK, sometimes that will solve some Vulkan related issues: https://vulkan.lunarg.com/sdk/home#sdk/downloadConfirm/1.0.68.0/windows/VulkanSDK-1.0.68.0-Installer.exe

I installed Vulkan SDK, now the error message changed from "Failed to load VULKAN library" to "Failed to create VULKAN instance"

updating this reply I must add that I run Vulkaninfo and it gives me the next code below:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vulkan info


Vulkan API Version: 1.0.68

ERROR: [loader] Code 0 : loader_get_manifest_files: Registry lookup failed to get ICD manifest files. Possibly missing Vulkan Driver?
Cannot create Vulkan instance.
C:\VulkanSDKBuild\workspace\LoaderAndValidationLayers\demos\vulkaninfo.c:808: failed with VK_ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER

ok I do have the option to set up dolphin rather on low performance graphics or high performance graphics, but the result is the same...

and about installing moded drivers on my laptop, i'm not so sure about it...

VK_ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER there is your error message with the solution: install a compatible driver.

Have you tried installing: https://www2.ati.com/drivers/beta/win10-64bit-radeon-software-adrenalin-edition-18.2.2-feb12.exe from here https://support.amd.com/en-us/download/mobile?os=Windows%2010%20-%2064 ?

ok I think now that it is impossible for me to use vulkan, but what about DX12, I also can use DX12 as backend renderer for the software I want to run

Please give your Laptop Model

DX12 is not available anymore in the devbuilds of Dolphin, so that means you will be stuck with either Tino's  version of Dolphin or an older version of master that doesn't get updated anymore. Tino's version is not supported by us but only in his own thread.
