I need a download for an older version of Meta Quest Link App for my Rift S

Does Meta have a old library or something of older versions of the app? I need between Version 13-16 that came out in 2020 of the app: 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_Horizon_OS_version_history#:~:text=v13

The reason is because years ago Meta updated the app and made it where my computer is 'too old to run the Rift S.' and 'Doesn't meant the minimum Requirements to run VR.' But that isn't true. I've played through the entirety of Walking Dead, Half-Life Alyx and a ton of other VR games just fine until Meta stepped in and made my Rift S literally unplayable.

A story on how I figured this out. Years ago I spent weeks with Meta support, thinking my Rift S was broken. Sent it out for repairs, got a replacement, and so much more. Meta also kept CONSTANTLY saying that it's not possible for my PC to run VR, and I had to keep yelling at them that it very much can.

It wasn't until my friend found out when I was angry as hell in a Discord call. He said 'it's most likely their app thinking your PC specs aren't up to their standards, just download an older version of it.'
So I did, and it works flawlessly! Problem is, its years later, my pc has undergone 2 memory wipes to save on storage and I can't find the specific old version of the Oculus App anymore. 


So that is why I need between Version 13-16 that came out in 2020, those worked for my Rift S back then.

    Nope. You'll have to search elsewhere.
