Isn't it quite the opposite though? Here, old computers get updates but new computers/cpus are killed before they get to start?



Probably not. If you're affected by this, most likely you know what you're doing and are by conscious choice running Windows 7 on a new computer -- and if you're willing to jump through all the hoops that entails just to avoid Windows 10, you're probably also going to accept being without security patches if the alternative is forced upgrade to Windows 10.

So they're opening the door for all kinds of nasty security problems. Bad move, I gotta say.


They are trying to kill windows 7/8.1 to get as much people to 10 as possible.
