    Microsoft cuts off Windows 10 support early for some PCs


    At the moment yes. Like I said though, I think they were hoping that would change some time down the road. Eventually it would only be 2 or 3 builds of Windows 10 that would get updates. That may change to 3 or 4 or more and they would be back to where they are now. Eventually it will only be Windows 10, assuming they don't make another name change. *Wink

    I've just skimmed through this thread but so far didn't go into details by following the links. So far not had problems with any upgrade.
    Hubby's laptop is a Toshiba which he got in 2012 running 7, went to the 10 upgrade shortly after it came out and had all the upgrades, he's just had the Creator Upgrade with no problems so far.

    I got my Asus Notebook which came with 8 November 2012 it got a new mainboard April 2013 under guarantee and went to 8.1 upgrade 2 then the free upgrade to 10 and that is up to date and now at the Creator Upgrade.

    We got 2 new Acer Aspire desktops running 10 the end of last year and they are now up to date with all upgrades.

    Don't know which if any of the laptops will give up first or run out of support, they are all Intel insides. *Smile

    Joan, it's just for some versions of the Intel Atom, (Clover Trail), processors used mainly in small footprint netbooks. Intel are dropping support for them so microsoft, has to work around this as the newer windows versions use software modules that he older drivers for the atoms are incompatible with and Intel won't write the drivers to get things to work

    Thanks for the explanation Nigel, as I said I just skimmed through the thread and didn't follow any links so didn't really understand the ins and outs of it all.

    John's Toshiba only got the Creator upgrade on Friday but there were no problems. There's more problems at the moment with the Internet here but hopefully after getting the latest BT router things should get better when it's finished settling down. *Smile

    My ancient Toshiba Satellite Pro C650 got the Creators Update yesterday.

    It took ages to download and install, but it seems to be working properly. *Smile
