So, somebody already found workaround for keep using updates on newer hardware.

Does anybody has a chance to test this?

This will work great until a genuinely incompatible update comes along, bricks the OS, and forces you to use system restore, track down the offending update and remove it.

> genuinely incompatible update
Incompatible with hardware you mean (cpu/chipset)? Very unlikely, and even if true people will read about this on wednesday/thursday (after patch tuesday) and be prepared I guess.
I don't understand.
Is Ryzen/Kabylake worse on W7/8.1?
Such as when utilized in a gaym benchmark, Cinebench, and CPU stresstest?
Also do BIOS updates still work?
I just assume that the risk is that viruses/malware will be easier to allow in since no updates or something I think...
Bump for interest

>genuinely incompatible
Not gonna happen, the OS still needs to support older processors. Bricking the new ones will also brick the old ones.
Weak bait.

No, microshit just wants to force you to voluntarily use their invasive OS if you have newer cpus.

yeah it's called don't install KB4012218
