Windows 7 annoying "Unsupported Hardware" pop ups

This is just another Microsoft ploy to force people into using Windows 10. I just loaded Windows 7 Pro over Windows 10 on a new i7 7700k, Gygabyte K5 gaming motherboard. 2-19-2018

I had very little problem doing windows update. There was about 200 windows updates and 8 optional updates. I did the updates in batches of about 30. When I had a failure (about 6), I did that update manually. This computer and all 3rd party software run fine. Much faster than when running Windows 10.

Yes, I get the annoying message about compatibility on each restart. If you remember DR-DOS, it's just another MS fake problem. Before windows there was DOS for disk operating system. Microsoft DOS was loaded and then windows on top. A competitor wrote DR-DOS and it was less expensive. Microsoft added a warning to the windows installer that stated something like "Windows may not run correctly with DR-DOS".

Not true, but because people believed Microsoft, the writers of DR-DOS were forced out of the market.

If Microsoft wants me to run Windows 10 then I need a version without the spyware, Cortana, memory hogging built in programs, and have control over updates.

Hey GeoffSa,

It's a bitch session because that's all we can do.  There's no fix other than trying to delete the latest update you got from MS.  That may or may not stop the popup.  I can tell you that I did nothing via the software and last month it finally stopped popping up, just out of the blue.  Maybe there's a timer on it, not sure.  Other than that, we're all stuck with MS, thus, the bitch session.

I have been trolling this forum/ community for weeks now to find a solution to my problem , not sure how I ended up in the thread

 I work on the basis " if it ain't broke don't fix it"

 we all know Big Bill Gates built his empire on the basis of - " if it ain't broke UPGRADE it!"

 that way you get nice big fat bugs to squash that cost you time and money

 this thread seems to be a real bitch session rather than a solutions one

 as far as updates go my pc is set to tell me if there are updates to download I can then go look at them and make my own mind up to install or ignore mostly I accept the security ones and ignore the rest. I know I sure do not need to d/l Spanish or chinse character sets :0 Pity the haven't released one for pure 'STRINE' as_she_is_spoke 'erein Aus.  :-)

I got tired of windows  10 on my new Dell to the point I broke the cd into as many pieces as I could, enjoyed the hell out of it. I put windows 7 on it and its fine. Dell said I couldnt do that, I told them maybe they cant and did it anyway. I dont understand why MS thinks its so cool to revamp everything every time they come out with a new system. When I cant run windows 7 anymore that means I cant fly fsx as well and I will move to linux because I will not tolerate the attitude of we think this is best for you, my attitude is I dont give a rats posterior what you think is best for me this is what I want and I will do it this why here or someplace else. That popup unsupported processor  has to be referring to something other than the processor because an I5 or an I7 does not magically become something different just because you want to run a different version of Windows and yes by the way you can get around it just fine.  No its not an unsupported processor, its an unsupported OS! I wish MS would just go away of get back to giving the public what they want.
