The small tower (I built it) in the coach decided to expire a few days ago. Fine, probably the power supply since I didn't see any sign of life on the mobo (no LEDs were lit.) Installed a new power supply and there were some life signs but no boot. I decided to just chuck all of the parts except for the hard drives since I didn't want to start throwing individual parts at repairing it when it could be the mobo itself.
So I bought the latest P270 chipset Asus motherboard with the latest i7 CPU and discovered Micro$oft will not support my Windows 64 bit Pro on the new hardware - so no new updates for W7, they are continuing to force users to W10.
And for extra drama I get a large pop-up box that screams UNSUPPORTED HARDWARE, I just slide it off the screen.
My big issue with W10 is Adobe Creative Suite CS4 doesn't play well with it so I was going keep a couple of boxes running W7. W10 is okay, I have a few PCs running that OS.
