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.

    I think you'll find that most users do not hate Windows 10. Yes it has issues and bugs but Windows 7 still has these, hence the updates. Time to get over your hang-ups and upgrade to Windows 10, the only known cure to this problem.

     Hi SteveCac,

    Experienced users of OS's - like over 30 years - do not have  "hang-ups". They have nothing to "get over". It is simply experience. They are able to compare in an unbiased way.  They care what the date is or what thew name is. They just want there system to work smoothly.  Imagine if your car acted like W10!!!!

    The core of any good, well designed, operating system is surely functionality not some feeble cosmetic so called "update". I'm afraid the general public, now a days, is easily fooled by "smoke and mirrors".

    Best regards,

    Mike

    I agree James.  I have tried several times to load a critical review on B&H's website, where I purchased all of my component's, and they have yet to allow it on their site.  They have responded several times via email, and each time I try again to upload the complaints about this Intel chip, they figure a way not to allow it.  I love B&H and have been buying from them for 25 years, but the fix is in on this one.  They probably figure it's best not to piss off M$ or Intel.

    The lovers of 10 can say what they want about how good M$ is, but that still does not mean that Gates should be "hiding" the fact that he won't service 7 or 8 anymore.  He should be proud of his business decisions and announce his lack of support for them on his site and on the packaging in bold letters, so his long time customers can make the decision to purchase new hardware.  This is false advertising at it's worst.

    This is a truly rubbish thing Microsoft is doing. My suggestion is that instead of complaining to Microsoft.. we all start complaining to INTEL. Intel made the CPU and they have a better chance of getting Microsoft to provide support. Flood their support lines people, jam their emails... make sure they know that this kind of thing isn't going to fly in the community. Everyone with a decent knowledge of computing knows Windows 10 is an absolute buggy lemon.. Windows 7 is the only choice for stable computing.
