Nobody said it was forever.and if you are REALLY upset about it, there is always Linux.Om de apparaten in je netwerk in kaart te brengen, kun je gebruikmaken van Lansweeper. If you are on 7th Gen or earlier, you just keep running W10 which will be fully supported until 2025 (and is SURE to get some W11 features back-ported to it in the future.) It sucks, but nowhere did MS (or Intel for that matter) guarantee that your purchase would be supported for more than 4 years (or even 1 year for that matter.) Also, they want to really push the Virtualization function WITHIN Windows 11 to alleviate some of the other security holes in the x86 architecture and CPUs earlier than Intel 8th Gen/AMD 1000 don't support what they really want to do in the future (sandbox and/or encrypt EVERYTHING. I suspect Microsoft it covering for an unknown security hole in 7th Gen and older Intel CPUs (like the side-channel attacks) that they can't plug due to the architecture. The 7th Gen CPUs would be just as secure as later versions, and run Office applications just as well, so this is not just a Cash-Grab by Microsoft to please their WinTel partners. The rational for dropping support for everything older than an Intel 8th Gen CPU is, frankly suspect. There are exceptions of course, but there always are.) We now have machines much more powerful than the software running on them, and have had them ever since Windows 7 came out (AAA Games excluded, and they just need bigger, faster GPUs more than new CPUs. on top of the mountain of money Microsoft made off it. It caused a huge surge in the sales for Dell, HP, IBM, etc. Suddenly that 386SX with 4 MB RAM and a 20 MB HD that was perfectly suited to running Windows for Workgroups 3.11 was no longer sufficient to run Windows 95 and Office 95. It's been done before and it will happen again.Īnyone else old enough to remember when Windows 95 came out?
