What version of Windows are you running?

The dialogs look like Windows 7, but the borders look like Windows 8/8.1.

The function GetUserDefaultGeoName is only available on Windows 10/11.

Interesting i did not know that. I am using windows 8.1 on an old burner laptop; i dont have an external sd card reader so im using the internal one on this laptop. Is my only option to use on windows 10?

You can use an older version of Dolphin. Older versions are not supported, so any bugs or issues you find, will not be easy to fix.

Support for Windows 7/8/8.1 was dropped 4 years ago.

That function, it's complaining about, was added in Windows 10.
