AoE 2 DE(steam) unplayable (skirmish and multi)

Win7
Bought the game yesterday played through the tutorial(which doesn’t lag) and today i tried multi with my friend and the game was lagging hard, after checking with RTSS(rive tuner statistics server) the game was stuttering hard at around 1000frametime. I tried using this app Process Lasso which didn’t work, I tried timerresolution which didn’t work, i tried verifying the game files which didn’t work, i tried changing the graphical settings ingame, none of them did anything. Any suggestions on what to do?
Im gonna upgrade to win 10 in the following week.

This is most likely the problem. It is a windows 10 game.

Oh yes, the game is optimized for windows 10 and beyond. Official support doesn’t include elder systems.
