Hello,  
i purchased a computer that is currently on windows 7 and it can run games such as:  
World of Warcraft  
The Hunter Call of the Wild  
Destiny I and II  
i can run these games at above average setting. However, Fortnite seems to TANK my computer. I attempted to reinstall the game and it came out with an error upon clicking on the epic games launcher 0xc000007b. I have installed DDI and having microsoft visual from 2008-2015 64x and 86x. I’m not a computer whiz and i cannot figure this out! Please help.
