As of January 2016, Windows 10 will be the only operating system supported in future CPUs. Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 systems
that use Intel's Skylake based processor will no longer be supported July 2017. Beginning with Intel's Kaby Lake processors and
AMD's Bristol Ridge processors, Windows 10 will be the only supported Platform. Microsoft does not want to invest in optimizing
newer processors with older versions of Windows.
