But mainstream support ends in January 2018 for Windows 8.1

Now that's fucking retarded. Don't fuck users sticking to an old OS just because they're using newer hardware. I'm having to dual-boot a Windows 7 installation because Microsoft decided that any retail game using SecuROM just doesn't get to work at all on Win10, not to mention the games and other various programs that worked all the way up until Win8.1 but don't work anymore for one reason or another.

Either make your OS fucking work or stop trying to force people to switch.

Microsoft, as shitty as ever. Why am I not surprised.

This was Intel's decision, not Microsoft.
