In an effort to push Windows 10, Microsoft will be ending support
for older Windows versions on new processors. Simply put, users
will not be able to run Windows 8, 7 or older versions as these new
processors from AMD, Intel, and Qualcomm will require the latest version
of Windows to get enterprise support.
Microsoft also states that the Skylake devices on the supported list
will also be supported with Windows 7 and 8.1. This program will last
till until July 17, 2017. After this given date, corporate users will
need to upgrade to Windows 10. A report by Engadget
points out that this new policy will the company create a ‘deep
integration’ between Windows 10 and the new hardware. In addition, this
move will help the company tackle one of it’s biggest problems which
is, getting companies to update Windows.
