We will use policy to support Windows

redmond - Microsoft modified the conditions for Windows support. Computers with new processors will soon be equipped with the latest version of the operating system to still be eligible for updates. Currently, Windows 10.

There are exceptions, as the US company said in a blog post. Some devices with a processor from the new series of Intel Skylake can count up to July 2017 on support for Windows 7 and Windows 8. 1. Microsoft released next week with a list of devices to which it applies.

Older computers running Windows 7 and Windows 8. 1 are still supported until early 2020 and early 2023 respectively.
