- mtgx 10y agoThat's one way of saying you're dropping support for previous chips. Why can't Microsoft "embrace silicon innovation" and support older chips? With windows 7, I get it, they've already said they stopped doing "feature updates" for it, although I'm not sure ensuring your OS "works" with the newer chips would constitute a "feature." However, Windows 8 is supposed to get feature updates for quite a while longer, so other than an arbitrary decision from Microsoft so it can more forcefully push Windows 10 on the market, there's no good reason for windows 8 to not work on the newer chips.
