![]() During the 18-month support period, these systems should be upgraded to Windows 10 to continue receiving support after the period ends. Through July 17, 2017, Skylake devices on the supported list will also be supported with Windows 7 and 8.1. ![]() For example, 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. This enables us to focus on deep integration between Windows and the silicon, while maintaining maximum reliability and compatibility with previous generations of platform and silicon. Going forward, as new silicon generations are introduced, they will require the latest Windows platform at that time for support. The move to be transparent has been met with a mixed reaction.Īt that time Microsoft's Windows and Devices VP Terry Myerson explained the change in support like this: Late last week Microsoft dropped a bombshell on its customers, primarily those in the enterprise, that they would only continue to support their Windows 7 and 8.1 operating systems on Intel's 6th Generation Skylake chips until 17 July 2017.
