Some computers only a few years old are reporting that they not longer support Windows 10.
It's a badly-worded blunder for now, but could be the sign of a major security problem down the line.
The problem is occurring when some computers try to install the Creators Update,
& the most recent widely-distributed major update to Windows 10.
The message received is worded: "Windows 10 is no longer supported on this PC.
The problem is in fact an incompatibility with a specific set of processors made by Intel under the name "Clover Trail"
- specifically CPU models Atom Z2520, 72560, Z2760 and Z2580.
These CPUs are most commonly used in 2-in-1 devices, meaning machines that could work as both a laptop
and a touchscreen tablet. Such devices were often marketed as a cheap way to get Windows 8,
which was designed very much with touch screens in mind.
Such devices were able to upgrade to Windows 10 free of charge, when passing compatibility checks.
and there was a few million of these machines sold, to these suckers.
