Windows 7 annoying "Unsupported Hardware" pop ups

I, just like most users hate Windows 10 for so many issues and bugs. It has usability issues and so many problems that Windows support team chooses ignore despite multiple complaints. Microsoft knows this very well but they keep hush about all this. Now to add to it, Windows 7 (the best OS so far) keeps giving a warning that my Intel Core i7 (7700k) processor is not supported.

I'm sorry but Windows 10 is officially the **** and buggiest product I've ever used. And I'm never going to switch to it until every problem has been fixed. Please do something about these annoying "unsupported processor" pop ups. If this is not resolved soon I'm going to write an entire blog about this and I'm sure there are many users who feel the same. Now this is not a small issue and I suggest to take this at the highest priority.

Every user should be allowed to use whatever version of Windows that suits their needs and is comfortable to use.

    Have you found a solution to your problem, I am having the exact same problem with none of the updates.

    You bet, I am running Linux now. I am so fed up with Microsoft's attempt to force us to use their  "upgraded  junk" by trying to force our hand they are out of my life. I was running windows 7 fine on the "unsupported hardware" B.S. it is supported, there isnt anything magical about an I5 processor other than they put some software in their to try and make us thing that our processor and hardware just magically changed. If I could I'd have everyone transfer to Linux, it is much better than M.S. anyway but there are those who know MS and would start a new learning curve on Linux. But then every time they upgrade their junk you need a whole new learning curve anyway, and Linux doesnt sit there and say you  cant do this and you cant do that and they dont watch  you behind the scenes. Micro Soft id just disgusting the way they treat users.

    I have just two words for you LepkeBuchalter, " just, and wait".

    The year is young yet.  I didn't have any problems either for about 5 months, and then zippo, nadda, nothing, no more updates.  But, based on what you wrote, I just tried to get updates from M$ again for the 25th time.  I did everything they suggested to "fix" the problem, and now, not only can't I still get any updates, but that dam annoying popup telling me I can't have any updates until I run W10 has come back from the grave.  Crap.  This is so depressing.  I wish I had a billion dollars to give away instead of fixing my company and caring about my customers.

    Gates should come out with a new version of 7.  Just update it to run faster and get rid of the crap nobody uses, etc.  Maybe add a couple of new options that would be helpful and leave the rest of it alone.  Maybe call it W7.7 revised.  I'd pay the 100. bucks to keep my software the way it is.  Keep 10 for those younger folks that like that sort of software.  Gate would make another half of billion and I'd be a happy small home builder again.
