New PC’s can only run Windows 10

This “experience update” from Microsoft represents a big change in policy.

Microsoft say a new PC will only run Windows 10

To summarize Microsoft’s post: On some computers support for Windows 7 & 8 ends early, on July 2017. Older machines have support as expected until sometime around 2020, but a newer computer with a 6th generation processor needs to be running Windows 10 by July 2017.

We used to be able to “downgrade” to older versions, but this option may not be available soon. If you’re a customer reading this, we’ll have already let you know if this affected you.
