As noted in a separate post, new AMD and Intel CPUs and APUs will only run Windows 10, it is rumored.
Its not perfectly clear to me why Windows 7 and 8 will not run. However, part of the rumor is that the new chips need new drivers -- which will only be supplied for Windows 10.
Does not affect me. But, I know many folks still like/use Windows 7.
Not a Rumor, MS Confirmed around January, they will not be making any new OS CPU Drivers for any new CPUs starting in 2016 for anything other than Windows 10.
