> Enabled detection of processor generation and hardware support when PC tries to scan or download updates through Windows Update.
These updates marked the implementation of a [policy change](https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2016/01/15/windows-10-embracing-silicon-innovation/) they announced some time ago, where Microsoft stated that they would not be supporting Windows 7 or 8.1 on next-gen Intel, AMD and Qualcomm processors.

It was essentially a big middle finger to anyone who decides to not "upgrade" to the steaming pile of :poop: known as Windows 10. Especially considering the extended support periods for Windows 7 and 8.1 won't be ending until January 4, 2020 and January 10, 2023 respectively.

There have even been people with older Intel and AMD systems who have been locked out of Windows Update because of these updates (see [#7](../../issues/7) and [this](https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-update/amd-carrizo-ddr4-unsupported-hardware-message-on/f3fb2326-f413-41c9-a24b-7c14e6d51b0c?tab=question&status=AllReplies)).
This has even affected people with older Intel and AMD processors! I've received user reports of the [Intel Atom Z530](../../issues/7), [Intel Core i5-M 560](../../issues/23), [Intel Core i5-4300M](../../issues/24), [Intel Atom D525](../../issues/34), and [AMD FX-8350](../../issues/32) all being blocked from receiving updates.
## Bad Microsoft!
