I have it installed on Windows 7, will check it out tonight and get back to you tomorrow.
.
Update:
I wasn't able log into my other SSD (Windows 7) at all last night or today, so wasn't able to test it out with the game. But this may help in the meantime.

That site has lots of info on installation paths, configs and other details like the windows mode. Below is something on that page about Windowed mode.
Alt + Enter to enter windowed mode or add -windowed in desktop shortcut for the game (at the end of the target line, with the .exe) and this will supposedly start the game in windowed mode each time.
It also seems borderless windows is not an option according to the page.
Anyway, I'm booting that SSD tonight and will have an answer tomorrow for sure.

Edit: For some reason it won't let me create a link properly. Only time I ever had an issue was years back when I was trying to figure out how to link lol.

So, I did test by adding the -windowed command in the shortcut per the site and it works. On the downside, I haven't found a way to maximize the window. I did try the option in the game desktop shortcut by changing it from Normal window to Maximize window from the dropdown option, but it didn't seem to have any effect.
Maybe someone on the net will know how to maximize a windowed program by adding another command.
I may Google it later on if I remember to lol.

once you add drakensang to favourites in borderless gaming, game will always play borderless window, playing the game entirely with no issues.
This tiny app is really handy with these ancient games.
