Microsoft begins blocking updates for older Windows versions on newer hardware
微軟開始防阻新電腦裝載 Windows 7
如果你像我，自己組裝電腦，用新發行的 CPU（如 Intel s upcoming "Kaby Lake" silicon, Qualcomm s upcoming "8996" silicon, and AMD s upcoming "Bristol Ridge），將會無法裝載 Windows 7 。
對我來說，那不是問題，我可以裝 Linux；你呢？
Windows 7 is supported until 2020, and Windows 8.1 will get updates until 2023, right? Not if you re trying to run those older Windows versions on new hardware, as some frustrated customers discovered this week.

Anyone running an older version of Windows on new hardware received a rude shock this week when the latest Patch Tuesday updates rolled around.
Instead of receiving the latest security updates for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, those customers saw an error message instead.
Unsupported Hardware
Your PC uses a processor that isn t supported on this version of Windows and you won t receive updates.
This issue occurs with newer hardware equipped with 7th-generation Intel processors ("Kaby Lake") and AMD Ryzen ("Bristol Ridge") chips. Systems with the Intel CPUs installed went on sale in late 2016. Devices built using AMD s new chips are just beginning to reach the market.
