![]() Given how many of these CPUs were manufactured, it’s not likely at all that we’d get to a point where we can’t get a decent older CPU at a good price. Older CPUs remain relevant far longer than they ever have, and there are still plenty of older-generation CPUs and board available in the secondary market. In practical terms, this particular issue is of little concern to me personally, as the pace of CPU speed increases has slowed to a crawl. ![]() It isn’t perfect, but it isn’t the mess that some people make it out to be either. I know a lot of my Linux-using compatriots habitually call Windows a terrible OS, but it really isn’t… or at least it wasn’t until quite recently. There’s always been a lot of MS hate, and much of it has been deserved, but I always liked and defended Windows. It simply is not possible for a great many of us, and it’s really quite sad that it’s gotten to this point. It’s not a way that a company that respects (or deserves) its customers behaves. It’s unconscionable, wildly anti-consumer behavior. I’d put a printer manufacturer on my lifetime boycott list for doing that (or the equally cynical “brick the printer after a page count threshold has been reached” thing). ![]() It’s not that the cartridge is actually incompatible… it’s that the printer and driver look for that chip, and if it’s not there, they pretend the cartridge is incompatible to force the user into behavior that is better for the printer manufacturer and worse for himself. It’s no different than the cynical move that some printer manufacturers have made when they included a DRM chip in each of their ink cartridges, without which the printer refuses to work. In addition, we will be blocking all Windows 7 updates on systems containing x hardware.” “”Windows 7 does not support x, and all the manufacturers of x have agreed not to provide the drivers for x on Windows 7. While not all of those 72% are “never 10” people like me, a lot of them are, and ordinarily, there would be no reason for a hardware vendor to leave them out in the cold.ģ. AMD and Intel are both cutting off a significant percentage of their customer base by refusing to enable users to install Windows versions that currently make up 72% of the Windows market ( numbers). They’re out to sell CPUs, not promote a given software platform, and it’s obvious that they’d rather reach a bigger market than a smaller one. We can reasonably assume this has happened, given the statements by AMD and Intel, since neither of them ordinarily would give two shakes about what OS the person installs. If MS decides not to support x on Windows 7 (which is in extended support), that’s their prerogative, but it isn’t their prerogative to conspire/collude with hardware manufacturers to not provide drivers for older, more popular operating systems. “Windows 7 does not support x, and all the manufacturers of x have agreed not to provide the drivers for x on Windows 7.” It doesn’t even remotely mean that if you have Windows 7, you can forget about using USB3.Ģ. In order to get USB3 functionality, you have to install USB3 drivers on your own, and that any support for issues with those drivers will not be provided by Microsoft… that will be up to the OEM of the motherboard, laptop, or the maker of the USB3 chipset. For example, Windows 7 does not support USB3. Step 3: Then you can open the DxDiag.txt file you saved, and scroll down towards the bottom of the System Information section at the top to see what it reports for Miracast to see if it's supported or not.This one is not a huge deal. Step 2: In the System tab, click Save all information button to save all the collected information to a text file. Type dxdiag in the Run box, then click OK. Step 1: Open the DirectX Diagnostic Tool. How to Check if Your PC Supports Miracast Using DirectX Diagnostic Tool Step 2: You will now see if your PC supports Miracast or not. Step 1: Click the lower-right corner of the screen to open Action Center, and then click the Connect button to Open the Connect app. If your device is running Windows 10 operating system, you can quickly check if it has supported for Miracast. ![]() How to Check if Windows 10 PC Supports Miracast via Connect App
