Windows 7 annoying "Unsupported Hardware" pop ups

Gates retired a while back, definitely before Windows 10, probably even before Windows 8. Things at Microsoft have changed a little since he left.

Hard to believe it could get worse w/o Gates. 8 & 10 makes it look like there was a MS civil war and the nerds won.

My Kaby Lake still runs fine w/windows 7. A little trouble finding the landmines at first. So much for MS fearware.

MS why not do a update for 7 or write a basic post 7 os without all the unnecessary crap in 10 and allow users to control when updates are downloaded and installed.

So far I can do 90% of my usual work in Linux and maybe 75% in Mac, but the problem for the other os is the inability to run pc applications natively. It doesn't look like ReactOS will happen in my lifetime. In the future if the only choice is running 10, I will switch to other Linux software and abandon what I have now.

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.

Gates retired a while back, definitely before Windows 10, probably even before Windows 8. Things at Microsoft have changed a little since he left.

The "Security Update for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 for x64-based Systems (KB954430)" was available for my Windows 7 laptop; but was not available for my Windows 7, Generation 8 Intel processor, desktop.

The description of the update is as follows:

"A security issue has been identified in Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML) that could allow an attacker to compromise your Windows-based system and gain control over it. You can help protect your computer by installing this update from Microsoft, etc."

However, I'm somewhat confuse, because Microsoft's documentation says that this update is for Windows 2000 Service Pack 4, Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1, Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2, Windows Vista, Windows Vista Service Pack 1, Windows Web Server 2008, Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows XP Service Pack 3 operating systems.

Does anyone know what's going on here?

I agree the programmers at Microsoft have made some very poor decisions when they developed Windows 8 and 10. Windows 7 was a good and very powerful OS. It's probably as powerful as the old Unix's OS. It's ashamed that they are now destroying Windows.
