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.

    Not trying to offend you mBardos76, but I'd prefer that MS comes up with the fix and I don't see MS anywhere on that link.  Who knows what is being loaded onto my computer from github.  And when you say you are getting updates, how sure are you that MS is actually writing any updates.  According to Gates, they are no longer servicing 7 or 8 when using these new chips.  I assume that means their engineers are not looking to fix any bugs or security issues for us.  Who knows what your getting from MS unless the all knowing Gates fills us in, which apparently they have absolutely no intentions of doing.  And how long do you think it will take him to fix your fix.  I think we should wait to do away with this thread until MS gets involved.

    See my thoughts on PCs using WSUS as commented above.

    Thank you DenverBraganza. Maybe you should be working for Microsoft as their support staff is ignorant. You could teach them how to properly deal with customers. Once again thanks for the link. It works great. Fast install and I couldn't be happier.

    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.
