Do you use a latest generation processor? So forget about keeping your computer up to date if you use Windows 7 or Windows 8.1

AMD Ryzen (his family) is one of the processors that is giving the most talk. In fact, we have seen how it made a Windows-based computer of about 1,500 euros eat up a powerful Mac Pro of more than 5,000 euros in terms of performance. And it is that either AMD or Intel, this new batch of processors are turning out to be exceedingly attractive

Many will be the users who acquire a computer that comes from the factory with one of these models or who choose to modify the PC they already have at home with such elements and if so, be careful, sincefrom Microsoft they also have something to say about it and to speak they have chosen Windows 10

And it is that from Redmond they have advanced a movement that was expected to arrive later in time and if in your case you use these latest generation processors and want to have your updated computer you will have no choice but to use Windows 10 (in a version other than 1507, of course).

And if you choose a seventh generation Intel (Kaby Lake) or a member of the AMD Ryzen range, you must use Windows 10 , since if you have another version installed on your computer, for example Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, you will see how they no longer offer support for the most modern processorsand therefore leave you sold by not receiving support with any type of update.

The first measure to begin the funeral of Windows 7 (Windows 8.1 will come later) which, let's remember, will no longer be supported for part of Microsoft in the year 2020, something that is very clear in this roadmap where you can also see the end of the cycle of other versions.

To do this, Microsoft notifies the user in question (something that those affected are already making known) that their computer uses a processor designed to work with Windows 10and otherwise you will not be able to receive support and report updates. It is therefore one more measure on the part of Microsoft, such as the end of support for Windows 10 in version 1507 or the death of Windows Vista (and what will come later) so that users always have their computers up to date. day with all the patches and versions that are being released.
