Microsoft’s Terry Myerson: New processors will be supported on Windows 10 only
According to an announcement made by Microsoft Executive Vice President Terry Myerson via a recent blog post, the newest processors from Intel and other chip makers will only run Microsoft’s latest Windows 10 operating system.
The statement by Myerson implies that the older versions of Microsoft’s Windows operating system -- including Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 -- will not be supported on the most recent processors from Intel and other chip manufacturers.
Myerson’s statement also, more importantly, implied that future processors from the chip makers will support Microsoft’s Windows 10 OS only.
Myerson further revealed in the blog post – which was addressed to ‘enterprise customers’ – that some of the processors which bigwig chip makers will be offering in future include the forthcoming ‘Kaby Lake’ silicon from Intel; the upcoming ‘8996’ chip from Qualcomm; and the upcoming ‘Bristol Ridge’ processor from AMD.
Asserting that the new processors will not support or run the older Windows OS versions reliably, Myerson said in the blog post: “Going forward, as new silicon generations are introduced, they will require the latest Windows platform at that time for support.”
