https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4012982/discusses-an-issue-in-which-you-receive-a-your-pc-uses-a-processor-tha Attempting to update Windows 7/8 on systems running the CPU generations mentioned in the article now results in Windows reporting the error above and outright refusing to update. Their excuse: --- Quote from: Microsoft article ---This error occurs because new processor generations require the latest Windows version for support. --- End quote --- Which is naturally bullstuff because you can still run 7 and 8 using these architectures. It's not a required update. I recognize you're interested in jamming 10 down people's throats, Microsoft, but windows 8.1 isn't even out of mainstream support. If you are encountering or you believe you will encounter this issue, you may be able to work around this issue using the WSUS Offline Update Tool. |

No worries. I'm too poor to get one of those processors anyways. |

Still staying on Windows 7, will be uninstalling Windows 10 soon. |

Well that's absolute bullstuff I'm willing to bet someone's gonna come out with a patch to remove this though |

When I become a computer geek, then I guess I'll have to go back to Windows XP for the true gaming experience. |
