Windows 10: Microsoft publishes lists of supported CPUs for Windows 10 version 1809

Microsoft released the Windows 10 October 2018 Update on October 2nd to the general public globally. Soon after the company decided to suspend or block the rollout to investigate isolated reports after users complained of data loss during or after the installation of the update.

Today the Redmond Giant has made some changes to its list of supported CPUs for Windows 10 version 1809. According to the list, Microsoft has picked Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 850 chipset processor to run its latest Windows 10 version.

Snapdragon 850 is expected to provide longer battery life to the next generation Always Connected PCs. The Windows 10 October 2018 update will also support new chipsets from AMD and Intel.

There is currently no mention of Intel’s newest ninth generation processor but we expect Windows 10 version 1809 to support the new processor also. Microsoft has confirmed that Intel Core i3/i5/i7 -8xxxK/U/G, 7th Generation Xeon E3 along with Intel Atom, Celeron and Pentium will be the processors which can run Windows 10 version 1809 successfully.

“Up through the following Intel 8th Generation Processors (Intel Core i3/i5/i7-8xxxK/U/G), 7th Generation Xeon E3-xxxx v6***, and through current Intel Atom (J4xxx/J5xxx and N4xxx/N5xxx), Celeron and Pentium Processors.”

For AMD, 7th Generation Processors like the A-Series Ax-9xxx & E-Series Ex-9xxx & FX-9xxx, AMD Athlon 2xx processors, AMD Ryzen 3/5/7 2xxx” would be supported.

“Up through the following AMD 7th Generation Processors (A-Series Ax-9xxx & E-Series Ex-9xxx & FX-9xxx), AMD Athlon 2xx processors, AMD Ryzen 3/5/7 2xxx, AMD Opteron**** and AMD EPYC 7xxxx****”

Currently, the Windows 10 version 1809 has been blocked by the Redmond Giant and Microsoft has recommended users affected by the bug to contact the company for assistance. We expect Microsoft to begin the rollout of the update later this week after fixing the bug.

MICROSOFT HAS confirmed a potentially lappy-borking problem that it won't be fixing, because Windows 7.

Woody Leonhard, the respected Windows columnist, points to a problem involving Asus motherboards, which also appear rebadged in a variety of other manufacturers' machines, and the activation of UEFI Secure Boot for Windows 7 in a patch KB3133977.

Short version: install update, welcome to Borksville, population you.

Both Asus and Microsoft acknowledged the problem. Microsoft entitled the article "BitLocker can't encrypt drives because of service crashes in svchost.exe process in Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2", but we prefer to just call it "Trevor for brevity."

The firm's advice was that it's an optional update, leave well alone, you'll be fine, or alternatively turn secure boot off.

Then Microsoft did a silly, silly thing.

It moved the update from 'optional' to 'recommended' and anyone who reads this site regularly will know what happens when Microsoft does this. That's right boys and girls - it makes it automatically install, unless you've specifically told your machine not to.

So now, if you have one of the affected motherboard and you keep your security updates automatic like wot Microsoft recommends, then your machine will stop working properly.

We should add it's not permanently bricked, but it will take some mucking about in the BIOS to fix and that's a pain even for an experienced computer user.

Microsoft has, by offering a workaround, suggested heavily that it won't be fixing the problem, though we have asked the question, so expect a response in about a fortnight.

But the real kicker is this piece of advice: "Note The Secure Boot feature is supported in Windows 10. To learn more about the security advantages of this feature and about the upgrade path from Windows 7 to Windows 10, go to the following Windows website"

Holy toledo, this company really knows how to rub people up the wrong way.

After all - if the advice is to manually avoid the update or move to a version of the operating system where there's virtually no control over updates, then Microsoft is dealing in massive contradictions.

A more cynical site would suggest that it's yet another example of Microsoft running Windows 7 into the ground and adding built in obsolescence to encourage quicker updates. But we're not that sort of site.

Its the patching to force secure boot that is the problem win 7 does not support secure boot
hence it borks systems and well microsofts answer is Cactus >your Asshole > insert
