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.
