Windows 7 runs out of updates with new cpus intel and amd

Microsoft had advanced it in the middle of last month and has fulfilled it, Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 will not receive any more updates if you have a modern processor in your computer, that is, the latest generation Intel (Kaby Lake) CPUs and AMD Ryzen.

Microsoft 'invites' you to leave Windows 7

Those of Redmond have a clear intention that users of Windows 7 and those who still remain in Windows 8.1 make that necessary leap to Windows 10. We had already discussed how Windows 10's market share had stagnated in recent months and Microsoft had to do something about it, and what better way than to deny updates to all users who have new generation processors.

Microsoft excuses itself that the capabilities of AMD's new Ryzen processors and the seventh generation Intel 'Kaby Lake' have capabilities that make it very difficult to develop updates on them.

This argument is striking, perhaps with Windows 7 they may be right (after all it is 8 years old already) but when we talk about Windows 8.1, it is a very recent operating system and it still has official support until January 2018. Are you telling me that Windows 8.1 does not support all the capabilities of a modern processor?

The reality is that the measure is very controversial, since it is practically forcing users of both systems to update to Windows 10, if they did not, they would not be receiving updates or security patches, which is potentially dangerous.

The measure seems to have reached the Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 computers in stages, but sooner or later they will all be unable to update. Keep this in mind before updating your equipment with new generation processors, both Intel and AMD.
