888-606-4841-Microsoft gives Skylake users 18 months to upgrade to Windows 10

by David Ray Technical Support Phone Number

Microsoft has made some important changes to its enduring support model, and due to this change, Intel Skylake buyers will need to pay particular consideration. Till now Microsoft users had the huge freedom to combine any previous OS with the newer hardware. So you have to think about upgrading to the latest Windows 10 in the next 18 months period as according to Microsoft. For any sort of help, you can simply take Microsoft windows® 10 customer tech support for getting upgrade help for Windows 10 in an efficient manner.

Moving forward Microsoft will no longer support this kind of long-term hold up for previous operating systems, and Skylake users will be the first who will get impacted by the change. According to Microsoft’s Terry Myerson, executive vice president of the Windows and Devices Group, Windows 7 and 8.1 operating systems were designed long before modern x86 SoCs were built. It’s more complicated to make Windows 7 and 8.1 drivers for modern x86 SoCs as a result, and affording to integrate support for these capabilities into these operating systems “would introduce churn into the Windows 7 code base, and would break this commitment [to support the older operating systems].”In case you are facing any sort of issue in using your old drivers, then you can simply contact a Windows tech support providing 3rd party company, like Intelli Atlas and get instant help for upgrading to Windows 10.

The company wrote: "Through July 17, 2017, Skylake devices on the supported list will also be supported with Windows 7 and 8.1. During the 18-month support period, these systems should be upgraded to Windows 10 to continue receiving support after the period ends. After July 2017, the most critical Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 security updates will be addressed for these configurations, and will be released if the update does not risk the reliability or compatibility of the Windows 7/8.1 platform on other devices".  

In addition, there are still some third-party companies which will continue to offer driver support, once Microsoft company stops supporting older OS on newer hardware. If you need any type of tech assistance then you can dial a toll-free Windows® 10 online customer support phone number service and get instant help from certified technicians.

Microsoft added: "Windows 7 was designed nearly 10 years ago before any x86/x64 SOCs existed. For Windows 7 to run on any modern silicon, device drivers and firmware need to emulate Windows 7's expectations for interrupt processing, bus support, and power states- which is challenging for Wi-Fi, graphics, security, and more. As partners make customizations to legacy device drivers, services, and firmware settings, customers are likely to see regressions with Windows 7 ongoing servicing".

However, Microsoft is planning to move the entire Windows network to Windows 10 and customers who prefer older versions of the Windows operating system will either have to make do with current hardware.
