Old Bill really got bored after he retired so now he simply HAS to spy on all of us, even if it means blocking software with hardware.

pretty easy to get around, p2v your machine, run windows update there, sysprep it, v2p it

>>59427664
how the fuck is this even legal?

>>59427962
nothing makes it illegal.

So is there any technical reason why these updates wouldn't work with earlier versions of windows or is it just more bullshit to pimp win10?

microsoft truly is our greatest ally

And that kind of stuff doesn't even come into the picture when considering why M$ is a terrible company to work for.

>Because of how this support policy is implemented, Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 devices that have a seventh generation or a later generation processor may no longer be able to scan or download updates through Windows Update or Microsoft Update.

Are these niggas for real?

How is that even legel? The people who bought Win7/8.1 bought it with extended support until 2020/2023 and now they are blocking important security updates if you use the current available hardware? This bullshit needs to spread, so everyone knows about this shit.

Also the OP should be more informative and not just a link.

Microsoft knows best, anon.

>>59429600
I was hoping for the same backlash that made them extend support for Windows XP, but it seems it's not going to happen. People got really dumber since then.

Don't update.
