Intel’s latest CPUs will only support Windows 10

Following Intel’s official unveiling of its new Kaby Lake (seventh-generation) processors, and a rash of incoming notebooks set to use the CPUs, Microsoft has confirmed what it announced earlier this year – that only Windows 10 will support this new processor.

And it’s not just Kaby Lake either, but all future processors such as rival AMD’s incoming Zen.

Back at the start of the year, Microsoft said that: “Windows 10 will be the only supported Windows platform on Intel’s upcoming ‘Kaby Lake’ silicon, Qualcomm’s upcoming ‘8996’ silicon, and AMD’s upcoming ‘Bristol Ridge’ silicon.” [1]
