Windows 10 is the only Windows version that is supported on the following processor generations:

Intel seventh (7th)-generation processors
AMD "Bristol Ridge"
Qualcomm "8996"

Because of how this support policy is implemented, devices that run the following Windows versions and that have a seventh generation or later generation processor may no longer be able to scan or download updates through Windows Update or Microsoft Update:

Windows Server 2012 R2
Windows 8.1
Windows Server 2008 R2
Windows 7

We recommend that you upgrade Windows Server 2012 R2-based and Windows Server 2008 R2-based computers to Windows Server 2016, and Windows 8.1-based and Window 7-based computers to Windows 10 if those computers have a processor that is from any of the following generations:

Intel seventh (7th)-generation "Intel Core" processor or a later generation
AMD seventh (7th)-generation ("Bristol Ridge") processor or a later generation

Qualcomm "8996" processor or a later generation
