“Computer compatible with Windows 7 and 8 are no longer manufactured, it may take you anything from Windows 10?”
– this may soon look like the answer seller of a hardware store or elektromarketu when we want to buy a new computer . All through declarations from Microsoft. The company, as explained The Verge, plans to end full support for Windows 7 and Windows 8.
“Windows 10 is only supported Windows on the upcoming platforms, Intel (Kaba Lake), Qualcomm (8996 ) and AMD (Bristol Ridge) “
– stated Microsoft company blog.
In practice probably will not mean that machines with old processors not get all updates to Windows, or that the system will work for them malfunction. Simply put pressure Microsoft to how many people changed to “ten”.

Processors Skylake are old it is?
Skylake, the sixth generation of the Intel Core, which is the latest available on store shelves, will also be fully compatible with Windows 10.

Manufacturers tablets and laptops can therefore only offer the hardware with Windows 10 on board.
BIOS updated through Windows Update?
This is not the end of the news. Microsoft’s plans, as reported by ZDNet, is a new tool – along with the Windows Update will update the BIOS or UEFI and drivers.

The problem is that in the past there were some Windows updates that unieruchamiały computers. Interference in the BIOS can result in much more serious problems. We do not know the details of this solution, it is difficult to clearly assess whether Microsoft’s plans are realistic.
In the very near future, Windows 10 will only fully supported system. Microsoft wants it to be a stimulus for consumers to scared lack of support transitioned to the “only correct” Windows. For Microsoft’s comfortable, because I support some version of the software it is very expensive. Unfortunately, a good portion of users can be very stubborn and stick with Windows 7. Does not open the gate for the bad guys? Microsoft seems increasingly to say: Windows 7 and 8 at your own risk.
What is your opinion about such a policy Microsoft? ComputerWorld says that it is only the “PR-pink idiocy …”
