Not a week after this post went live, Microsoft announced that Next-Gen CPUs will only support Windows 10. So, if you plan on upgrading your gaming rig between now and 2023 (2020 for W7), then you�re probably going to have to upgrade to Windows 10, as well. Any next-generation processor made by Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, or anyone else will only support Windows 10.
Not true!
It's just MS way trying to make people belive the sky is falling and the only salvation is Windows 10!
Intel/AMD/Qualcomm is not so stupid they will limit the OS for their CPU's to Windows 10 only. It's MS propaganda machine talking. Old CPU's will still work with Windows 10 (maybe not with all features but thats just like MMX/SSE/etc in the past) and new CPU's will still work with Windows 7/8 and Linux.
